the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act

The Uniform Premarital Agreement Act (UPAA) provides a standardized legal framework for prenuptial agreements, which are contracts made before marriage specifying how assets and debts will be handled if the marriage ends. It aims to ensure these agreements are fair and enforceable by setting clear rules on their formation, voluntariness, disclosure of property, and fairness. The UPAA helps prevent disputes by promoting transparency and consistency across states, making it easier for couples to agree on financial arrangements beforehand without future legal complications.
