A Rhode Island Prenuptial Agreement is made to help couples who are thinking about getting married, prepare for the potential of separation or the loss of a partner due to death. Through the division of their monetary interests and the stipulation of their respective ownership rights, the document enables the soon-to-be spouses to protect the assets that each partner gained before marriage.
Alternate Names:
In the event of a divorce, the pair's assets will be distributed in accordance with their personal wishes rather than a court order. In this manner, there is a guarantee for both parties that the assets will be distributed fairly in accordance with the terms of the contract hence why this agreement is signed prior to marriage.
The pair need to both sign the document for it to be considered as legally valid. In Rhode Island, there are no other additional requirements concerning signatures. However, if you want to ensure that the document is upheld in court and prevent any false accusations you should get the document notarized.
