Understanding Michigan Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
A prenuptial agreement is a contract made in contemplation of marriage intended to limit one party’s ability to receive premarital property belonging to the other and/or to limit or prevent inheritance of a party’s estate in the event of death or divorce. Such contracts are generally followed if the parties marry and a divorce later occurs. A post-nuptial agreement (made after the marriage occurs) will generally contain the terms of a settlement in the event of a divorce.
