Prenuptials.

Securing the future.

Getting married is a time of joy. Conley Law LLC understands this but also is experienced with helping couples think through their future even though these conversations can be awkward and difficult.

A prenuptial agreement is a contract between two people prior to marriage. Also, a formal written agreement can be done after marriage as a post-nuptial/marital agreement. These agreements address property and financial issues in the event of the couple’s divorce and they can provide reassurance for those who enter into marriage.
