Many couples shy away from the idea of a prenup due to stigma and misconceptions, but the truth is that a prenuptial agreement can be beneficial for everyone. Whether you’re entering a marriage with significant assets, a family business, or just want to avoid potential financial disputes down the road, a prenup ensures you’re both on the same page.

Ultimately, having a prenup is not a prediction of failure, rather it’s a tool to ensure both partners are aligned and protecting what they’ve worked hard to achieve.
Minnesota does not follow the Uniform Prenuptial Agreement Act (UPAA), so prenuptial agreements in Minnesota are subject to the specific laws and provisions of Minnesota.
Separate Legal Representation
Both spouses must have the opportunity to meet with their own separate legal counsel. This ensures that the agreement is fair and legally sound and that both parties’ interests are protected. Independent legal representation helps prevent conflicts of interest and ensures that both individuals fully understand the terms of the prenup.
Prenups must be signed before the wedding. A prenuptial agreement must be signed before the couple marries. If the couple doesn’t marry, the prenup is invalid.
Both spouses must provide full and fair financial disclosure, including earnings, assets, and debts.
The agreement must be registered in the county where one of the spouses’ real property is located.
