Securing Your Future
Expert Legal Guidance
Marriage is one of the most significant commitments in life, and while it’s built on trust and love, it’s also essential to plan for the future. At Gary J. Saylor, II, Esq., we provide expert legal guidance for couples seeking to establish pre- and post-nuptial agreements. Whether you’re preparing for marriage or are already married, these agreements can offer clarity and security regarding financial matters, ensuring that both partners are protected in unforeseen circumstances. Gary J. Saylor practices as part of Cramer, Swetz, McManus, Jordan & Saylor, P.C. — so your prenuptial or postnuptial agreement gets the focus of a dedicated family-law attorney backed by a full-service firm’s resources.
What is a Pre-Nuptial Agreement?
At Gary J. Saylor, II, Esq., we believe that taking steps to secure your financial future is a responsible and important part of marriage. As an experienced divorce lawyer, our team will work with you to develop a comprehensive agreement that provides peace of mind for you and your spouse, protecting your interests no matter what the future holds.
Key considerations in a pre-nuptial agreement include:
- Defining each spouse’s separate and marital property.
- Determining how debts incurred before and during the marriage will be handled.
- Establishing spousal support (alimony) arrangements, if applicable.
- Protecting family-owned businesses, inheritances, and personal assets.
- Clarifying financial responsibilities during the marriage.

Post-Nuptial Agreements
A post-nuptial agreement is similar to a pre-nuptial agreement but is created after a couple has already married. Like a prenup, it addresses how property and assets will be divided in the event of a divorce or separation.
Couples may draft a post-nuptial agreement due to significant changes in financial circumstances, such as starting a business, receiving an inheritance, or simply wanting to formalize financial arrangements later in the marriage.
A postnuptial agreement may cover:
- Allocation of assets acquired during the marriage.
- Protection of inherited assets or newly acquired businesses.
- Amendments to previous financial agreements, such as prenups.
- Spousal support arrangements, as needed.
While it’s easy to view pre- and post-nuptial agreements as plans for divorce, they actually serve as powerful tools for protecting your financial future and avoiding costly disputes down the line. By clearly defining financial expectations and responsibilities from the beginning, couples can minimize misunderstandings and ensure that both parties are on the same page.
