"Premarital" (Antenuptial) Agreements, are agreements executed between prospective spouses in contemplation of marriage, to be effective upon marriage. Premarital agreements executed on or after January 1, 1986 are subject to the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act. They may deal with the parties' present and future property rights, both inter vivos and postmortem, and other related matters incident to the marital relationship.
Regardless of the length of the relationship and extent of knowledge you have about your fiancee, we strongly recommend the use of a prenuptial agreement to protect your assets and the assets of your heirs in the case that the marriage ends in divorce.
THREE IMPORTANT POINTS
to have a better
chance of not being invalidated
1. The
prenuptial agreement must comply
with the laws of your State of residence.
2. Your fiancee
should engage on her own, her own attorney who speaks her native
language to represent her, and to explain the agreement before she signs it.
3. No appearance of
undue influence or
pressure. Obtain agreement to the pre-nup well before travel
to
the USA, well before the wedding.
So
we recommend you use a
local
attorney in your state
ask her to
find her own
attorney who speaks her language
