Uniform Premarital Agreement Act (UPAA)

The Uniform Premarital Agreement Act (UPAA) is a set of legal guidelines that provides a framework for couples to create premarital agreements, also known as prenuptial agreements. These agreements outline how assets and debts will be handled in the event of divorce or separation. The UPAA aims to make these agreements more consistent and enforceable across different states, ensuring that both parties enter into the agreement voluntarily and with a clear understanding of its terms. Essentially, it helps couples have clear financial expectations before marrying, promoting transparency and reducing conflict later on.
