Because June is the preferred month for weddings and because the subject of prenuptial agreements commonly surfaces shortly before the wedding, we submit this article for the benefit of the bar and the public.

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements have been commonly endorsed because they often serve the important function of providing financial protection and certainty in the event of divorce or death. They are particularly appropriate when older or previously divorced couples seek to provide that in the event of divorce or death their property goes to their children or grandchildren rather than the other parties’ children.1
