An Illinois Lawyer Working To Safeguard Your Assets
Life is unpredictable. While you are undoubtedly excited to get married and embark on a new journey, it is important to consider what you want to happen to your assets and income in case of death or divorce. Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can be particularly useful when one person in a relationship has significantly more assets or wishes to protect certain property for children from a previous marriage.
Attorney Robert Schmit provides sensitive and sound legal counsel regarding prenuptial and postnuptial agreements for individuals in the southwest Chicago suburbs and throughout Cook County. Call his office at 708-761-6978 or 866-603-6951 to discuss your circumstances.
Avoiding Confusion Down the Road
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are designed to alleviate problems in the future. They are particularly useful when the couple is entering into a second marriage and a person wants to make sure property is properly passed down to children from the first marriage. This can relieve much tension and stress in today's commonly blended families.
In the event of a contested divorce, any assets specifically mentioned in the contract will be handled as stated in the agreement. Protected property may not be subject to Illinois' property division laws.
Robert Schmit provides comprehensive prenuptial and postnuptial agreement services. He can sit down with you to draft a contract for the other party to sign. Or, he can review and revise an agreement your partner wishes you to sign. Either way, he will work to protect your interests in a timely manner.
