Making Sense of Premarital Agreement Validity

Premarital agreements are influential estate planning tools that can limit a surviving spouse’s inheritance. Without a premarital agreement, Iowa statutes will protect the surviving spouses’ right to inherit property from the estate regardless of whether a will exists or whether a valid will left the spouse no provisions.

Spouses often choose to take an “elective share” of the estate during probate when their significant other has disinherited them. Valid premarital agreements however override spousal election rules.

Married couples may likewise try to rescind or amend their premarital agreements while they’re alive, and spouses sometimes hire the estate dispute attorneys at the Smith Law Firm in Iowa to investigate whether a controlling premarital agreement in probate is actually valid.
