For Fort Myers residents who own a business before marriage, a prenuptial agreement is often the clearest protection available. Without one, the appreciation in the business's value during the marriage, or contributions the other spouse made to its operations, can create a marital interest that substantially complicates any future divorce. Brodzki Jacobs drafts business protection provisions for Fort Myers clients before the marriage begins rather than trying to untangle commingled interests years later when the stakes are higher.
A prenuptial agreement addressing a business typically specifies that the business and its future growth remain separate property of the owning spouse, and may define how compensation drawn from the business will be treated during the marriage. Getting that language precise is what Brodzki Jacobs does in the drafting process. Reach out to the firm to discuss how your specific business ownership should be addressed before you are married.
