Tying the Knot Later in Life? Here’s Why You Need a Prenup Now

Picture the scene: The love of your life has just agreed to marry you. You’re ecstatic, brimming with the romance and excitement of the situation. Trembling, you go in with a follow-up question:

“So, darling, shall we have a prenup?”

With the help of divorce attorney Peter Stambleck and Pattie Ehsaei, a lawyer and manager in financial services, we’ve taken a look at why prenups are a wise safeguard for many couples, why they might be particularly useful to people getting married at a later stage of life, and cleared up a few misunderstandings as to what they can actually include.
