Prenuptial Agreement Planning With A Florida Lawyer

Clarity Before The Wedding

A Florida prenuptial agreement sets expectations so marriage decisions feel simpler. Richard A. Heller, P.A. helps couples in Orlando, Winter Park, Maitland, Baldwin Park, Lake Nona, College Park and more, document separate property, alimony terms, and future plans while keeping the process respectful. Starting early leaves time for review and keeps the focus on the celebration.

What A Florida Prenup Can Address

A prenup can distinguish separate vs marital property, protect a business, outline how real estate is handled, and coordinate retirement accounts. It cannot set parenting plans or child support, but it can create clear financial guidelines that reduce conflict later. We translate complex situations into simple schedules and exhibits that hold up in Central Florida courts.

Requirements For Enforceability

Enforceable prenuptial agreements require full financial disclosure, voluntariness, and clean drafting. Each party should have the chance to consult independent counsel, and signatures should follow proper notary procedures. We manage timelines so the document is not rushed the week of the wedding and is less likely to be challenged later.

Life Moments That Call For Planning

Second marriages and blended families often benefit from a prenup that protects inheritances and supports existing obligations. Entrepreneurs, physicians, and attorneys may want to preserve ownership or define buyout mechanics. Significant pre-marriage assets or an expected inheritance are also strong reasons to document terms now.
