Help From a Proficient Schaumburg Marriage Contract Attorney
Palatine prenuptial agreements attorney James M. Kelly has helped couples entering into their first marriages as well as their second and subsequent marriages draft prenuptial agreements designed specifically to address certain assets and debt each party is bringing to the marriage.
Governed by the Illinois Premarital Agreement Act, this written agreement is meant to protect certain valuable items a party owned prior to the marriage and can give direction to what should happen to the items in the event of a divorce, death or in other circumstances. These matters often include:
- 401(k)s
- Brokerage accounts
- Real estate
- Marital property
- Heirlooms
- Inheritance
- Privately held businesses
While we believe that it is always important to protect what is important in your life, it may be more helpful to couples in some situations, including marriages where one or both parties have significant assets, one or both parties have children from a prior relationship, or couples entering into a second or subsequent marriage.

We can help you recognize the benefits of a prenuptial agreement and work with you to draft a completely customized agreement prior to your marriage.
