PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT IN BC

However, creating a prenuptial agreement can help create transparency, build trust and settle expectations on dealing with your property and assets and income stream if you ever divorce. Moreover, a well-written prenuptial agreement can help prevent disputes if you separate.
