PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS IN VIRGINIA

A prenuptial agreement allows a couple to make thoughtful decisions about property, debt, inheritance, and financial responsibilities before marriage. Hammelman Law helps individuals and couples in Ashburn, Loudoun County, and throughout Virginia prepare agreements that reflect their circumstances and long-term goals.

​

Prenuptial agreements are not limited to people with substantial wealth. An agreement may be especially useful when:

​

• One or both individuals have children from a previous relationship
• Either person owns a business or significant property
• There is a substantial difference in income or assets
• One person expects to receive an inheritance
• Either person is entering the marriage with significant debt
• The couple wants to coordinate the agreement with an estate plan
• One spouse plans to leave the workforce to raise children
