Prenuptials

A Guide To Wedding Prenuptials

The wedding is perhaps one of the most important events in a person’s life. A ceremony which formalizes the desire to share the rest of your life with someone else. A moment of happiness and optimism for all. But we should not put aside the precautions; the reality is that unfortunately sometimes the marriage is not as we had hoped. Just love and the couple breaks. Mindful of this point does not arise with more calm some sort of agreement before the Marriage on the distribution of the assets of the couple in a hypothetical case of rupture. Such agreements, although that might give some impression of lack of trust between partners, will facilitate greatly the hard process of separation, if it arrives.

In any case, we must be clear that if we do not take any standards we are tacitly accepting the law of the place of residence, which is not always going to match our preferences. Although it is somewhat uncomfortable it is best to talk to members of the couple. Prenuptial agreements, also called marriage, fall into three broad categories, or regimes, mainly:

Separation of assets: In this scheme each spouse will maintain individual ownership of their property after the wedding, as well as those who buy after it. Each spouse has the use and enjoyment of their property, which means they can sell them without the permission of the couple. The costs and burdens are carried out in equal parts.

Society of acquisitions: This scheme provides that both earnings and assets obtained after the marriage become the property of both spouses. Are considered private property, which belong exclusively to one spouse, those who already owned by each before the wedding, or any subsequent inheritances and gifts. In case of separation of the marriage are split marital property, but not unique.

Participation Scheme: This scheme, situated halfway between separate property and a society based on acquisition, provides that each spouse has the right to participate in the profits of another.
