Prenuptial Agreements
A prenuptial agreement, or “prenup,” is a legally binding contract made before marriage that outlines how assets and debts will be divided in the event of a separation or divorce. It allows both parties to clarify their financial rights and obligations while protecting individual assets. At Cambria LLP, we help couples draft customized prenuptial agreements that reflect their unique needs and meet Alberta’s legal standards.
Key Elements of a Prenuptial Agreement
- Asset and Debt Disclosure. A clear list of each party’s assets, debts, and liabilities to ensure transparency.
- Property and Asset Division. Provisions that outline how assets, including real estate, savings, and personal property, will be divided if the marriage ends.
- Spousal Support Arrangements. Clear terms regarding potential spousal support obligations, providing clarity and protection for both parties.
- Business and Inheritance Protections. Special clauses to protect family businesses, inheritances, and personal property acquired before the marriage.

Postnuptial Agreements
A postnuptial agreement, or “postnup,” is similar to a prenuptial agreement but is created after marriage. Couples may choose a postnuptial agreement to clarify financial responsibilities, protect individual assets, or address issues that arise after marriage. At Cambria LLP, we work with clients to create fair, enforceable postnuptial agreements that provide stability and certainty within the marriage.
Reasons for Creating a Postnuptial Agreement
- Asset Protection. To protect specific assets acquired during the marriage, such as a business, inheritance, or real estate.
- Debt Management. To clarify responsibility for debts and avoid future misunderstandings if the marriage ends.
- Changes in Financial Circumstances. Significant changes, such as a large inheritance, business success, or new investments, may prompt couples to outline terms for handling these assets.
- Reaffirming Financial Goals and Expectations. Some couples use postnuptial agreements to strengthen their financial plans and clarify roles and responsibilities within the marriage.
Our Postnuptial Agreement Services Include
- Detailed Agreement Drafting. We draft postnuptial agreements that protect each party’s rights and address current financial circumstances.
- Review and Modification of Existing Agreements. If you have an existing postnuptial agreement, we provide support to review and update it as needed.
- Conflict Resolution and Fair Representation. Our team ensures both parties feel secure and protected by the agreement, working to maintain fairness and balance.
