Re: Bills prior to marriage
Thank you for your inquiry. Generally speaking, assets and debts from prior to the marriage are considered sole and separate property. To provide additional protection, you can sign and record a prenuptial agreement setting forth the specific debts, and putting the creditors on notice of the intention to keep the debt separate.
We offer a free initial consultation, so please feel free to contact our office to schedule a time to speak and discuss the details.
