The Prenuptial
Thinking of getting married? Remember, that down the road (while this is not terribly romantic to think about) should the relationship not work out, a court will divide all assets created during the marriage and, most likely, ALL APPRECIATION on the assets you brought into the marriage. You can protect these assets through a prenuptial agreement, which agreement must be signed prior to the marriage, and far enough away from the marriage date to prevent the future argument of duress and/or coercion.
