Marriage Planning Services
Marriage is a major commitment, and planning for your future together includes preparing for the unexpected. At SKH, we help couples create prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that provide clarity, protection, and peace of mind.
Why Consider a Prenuptial Agreement?
A prenuptial agreement is not a prediction of failure. It is a thoughtful way to protect your future. Just as you would not buy a home without insurance, entering a marriage with a plan in place is a smart way to protect what matters most.
Beyond financial security, the process of creating a prenuptial agreement can actually strengthen a relationship. It opens the door for important conversations about values, responsibilities, and shared vision. For many couples, it is the first step toward building a transparent and resilient partnership.
Key Benefits
A prenuptial agreement helps protect individual assets, clarify financial responsibilities, and reduce the risk of conflict in the event of divorce or death.
Who Should Consider One?
While every couple can benefit from a prenuptial agreement, it is especially important for those with significant assets or debt, business interests, children from previous relationships, or plans to support a spouse through school or a career transition.


Understanding Postnuptial Agreements
Already married? You can still make a plan. Postnuptial agreements are often used when circumstances change. For example, you may receive an inheritance or want to clarify financial arrangements.
Clarifies financial expectations during the marriage, helping couples address changes in income, assets, or responsibilities that may arise over time.
Protects inherited or newly acquired assets, especially when one spouse receives a significant gift, inheritance, or business interest they wish to keep separate.
Provides peace of mind by creating a clear plan in the event of separation, divorce, or death—reducing potential conflict and uncertainty for both partners.
