What Rights Do I Have?
These rights include:
- The right to financial support during the asset administration period
- The right to inherit a portion of the deceased spouse’s assets if there is no will
- The right to administer the deceased’s estate if there is no will
- Premarital or prenuptial agreements
- Joint ownership
- Wills and trusts
Do I Need to Consult an Attorney Regarding These Premarital Issues?
Drafting wills and trusts can be a complicated issue by which a family attorney can help advise you on what works best for you. Additionally, in most prenuptial agreement situations two lawyers (representation for each spouse) are required by law in order to finalize the agreement. Speaking with the proper attorney will help you understand your rights and protect your interests.
