Uniform Premarital Agreements Act

The Uniform Premarital Agreements Act (UPAA) provides a standardized legal framework for prenuptial agreements across states that adopt it. It allows couples to agree in advance on how assets, debts, and other financial matters will be handled if their marriage ends. The law emphasizes that these agreements must be entered into voluntarily, with full disclosure of assets, and not be unconscionable or unfair at the time of enforcement. Its purpose is to promote clarity, fairness, and predictability in financial arrangements between spouses, helping couples plan their financial future with legal protection.
