Document background
The Simple Prenuptial Agreement is a fundamental legal document used by couples planning to marry in the United States who wish to establish clear financial and property arrangements before their union. This document becomes particularly relevant when either or both parties enter the marriage with significant assets, business interests, inheritance expectations, or previous marriage obligations. The agreement must conform to both federal guidelines and state-specific requirements, which vary by jurisdiction. While traditionally associated with high-net-worth individuals, prenuptial agreements are increasingly common among couples seeking financial clarity and protection. The document typically includes detailed financial disclosures, property classifications, support provisions, and death benefits, all while ensuring compliance with state laws regarding formation, execution, and enforcement of prenuptial contracts.
