PRE-NUPS - PLANNING YOUR FUTURE TOGETHER

It's Not Unromantic - It's One of the Most Caring Things You Can Do

Talking about a prenup (we call them Binding Financial Agreements, but prenup is fine!) might feel awkward. Like you're planning for failure before you've even started.

But here's another way to look at it: you're having honest conversations about money now, when you love each other and want the best for one another. That's actually pretty romantic.

Who's Asking About Prenups These Days?

You might be surprised. It's not just wealthy people or celebrities. It includes:

  • Second-time-arounders who want to protect their kids' inheritance

  • Small business owners worried about their life's work

  • Farmers keeping family land in the family

  • Young professionals with different financial starting points

  • Couples with elderly parents they might need to support

  • Anyone who's been burned before and wants peace of mind

If you're reading this, you probably have a good reason. Trust that instinct.

What These Agreements Actually Do

Think of it as a financial road map you create together. If life takes an unexpected turn (and we hope it doesn't), you've already decided:

  • What happens to the house you owned before meeting

  • How to handle inheritances from family

  • Whether the business stays separate

  • How to deal with debts (yours, mine, and ours)

  • What's fair if someone gives up work to raise kids

You're writing the rules while you still like each other. Smart, right?

Let's Address the Elephant in the Room

"Won't my partner be offended?" Maybe initially. But couples who can talk openly about money tend to have stronger relationships. Frame it as protecting both of you. Because it does.

"It feels like I don't trust them" You buy car insurance hoping to never use it. This is relationship insurance. It's not about trust - it's about clarity.

"We don't have much anyway" That might change. Career success, inheritances, a lucky investment - life can surprise you.

How We Make This Process Easier

  1. Start with coffee (or tea) We'll chat about what you're both hoping to achieve. No judgment, just understanding.

  2. Everything on the table Full financial disclosure - it's actually liberating. No secrets, no surprises.

  3. Fair for both This isn't about one person "winning." It's about both feeling secure.

  4. Plain English We'll explain everything in words you understand. No legal mumbo-jumbo.

  5. Time to think No rushing. Both of you need independent legal advice (we can recommend someone lovely for your partner).

  6. Seal the deal Sign it, file it, then forget about it and get on with being happy together.

What It Costs vs What It Saves

Yes, there's a cost - usually a few thousand dollars all up. But compare that to:

  • The cost of property settlement disputes (often $50,000+)

  • The emotional cost of fighting when you're already hurting

  • The relationship cost with kids watching parents battle

It's genuinely one of the best investments you can make in your future - together or apart.
