Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements

Planning for the Future with Clarity and Confidence

A well-drafted prenuptial or postnuptial agreement isn’t just about protecting assets; it’s about building trust, transparency, and understanding before or during a marriage. Block | Reid helps individuals and couples establish clear financial expectations that minimize uncertainty and promote peace of mind.

Whether you’re entering a first marriage, blending families, or managing complex financial interests, our attorneys ensure that your agreement is fair, enforceable, and tailored to your specific goals. We approach these discussions with sensitivity, balancing practical protection with respect for the emotional aspects of partnership.

Prenuptial Agreements

Executed before marriage, prenuptial agreements define how assets, debts, and property will be treated in the event of divorce or death. We guide clients through every stage from financial disclosure to drafting terms that reflect mutual respect and foresight.
Postnuptial Agreements

Created after a marriage has begun, postnuptial agreements can clarify financial responsibilities, protect business interests, or adjust prior arrangements to account for new life circumstances. We ensure these agreements comply with Illinois law while maintaining fairness and transparency.
Asset Protection

From real estate to business ownership to inherited wealth, we help clients safeguard assets and clarify marital versus non-marital property, reducing future disputes and preserving what matters most.
Business & Professional Interests

For entrepreneurs, executives, and licensed professionals, protecting a business or practice is essential. We structure agreements that separate personal and business assets while maintaining flexibility for growth and change.
Financial Disclosure & Enforcement

Full financial disclosure is the cornerstone of any valid marital agreement. We oversee the exchange of documentation, confirm compliance, and, if necessary, enforce or challenge agreements in court.
