To some people an ante nuptial agreement seems like a sign of mistrust between partners. In fact, it gives a couple the opportunities to agree on their financial future and how their assets and gains will be distributed or divided when their marriage comes to an end because of death or divorce. It also prevents the marriage from automatically being one of in community of property.
An ante nuptial agreement is entered into where couples do not want to get married in community of property and is concluded before marriage. An ante nuptial agreement might be especially important for someone who already has assets like a business, or family obligations like children from a previous marriage.
