Prenuptial agreement

[chuckycheese]

My fiance and I will marry in the fall and both want a prenuptial agreement in order protect our separate, existing assets. I have a template which includes a place for our signatures to be notarized.

If neither of us ever charges that the signatures aren't authentic, is there any reason to have it notarized? It seems like a waste of time and money as I can't imagine how the signatures could be successfully challenged. Thanks, experts!

anything can be challenged, especially by disgruntled soon to be ex-spouses. divorce proceedings have a tendency to get very messy. I would get it notarized. you should be able to get it done for little to no cost at a financial institution where you have an account.

Yes, I know all of those things....all to well. The reason I asked the question is because I would imagine that challenging the agreement, itself, would be much easier than denying responsibility for the signature.....and with a lot less liklihood of "backfiring". I certainly wouldn't want to get caught in that lie and neither would anyone with any sense.

You should at a minimum have witnesses to your signing of the agreement.
