Nuptial Agreements in Scottsdale
A well-drafted prenup or postnup protects what each of you brings to the marriage and sets expectations that strengthen the relationship rather than strain it. Schmeisser Law writes them in plain language, with care for both spouses.

Clear agreements before and after the wedding
We help couples talk about money on their own terms, then put what they agree on into a document that holds up under Arizona law. The goal is clarity, fairness, and a stronger foundation for the marriage itself.
Prenuptial Agreement
A pre-marriage contract that defines separate property, debt, and what happens if the marriage ends. Designed to be fair, enforceable, and a way to start the marriage on the same page.
Postnuptial Agreement
A similar agreement signed after the wedding. Often used when finances change, a business is acquired, or one spouse receives an inheritance during the marriage.
Separate Property Protection
Identifying premarital assets, inheritances, and gifts that should stay separate, then putting safeguards in place so they do not get commingled by accident.
Business & Practice Protection
Carving out a business or professional practice from the marital estate so a future divorce does not threaten the company, your partners, or the value you have built.
Inheritance & Family Wealth
Coordinating with parents and grandparents who want to pass family wealth to one spouse without it becoming subject to division in a divorce or claim by a creditor.
Coordination With Your Estate Plan
A nuptial agreement only works if your will, trust, and beneficiary designations agree with it. We make sure every document in your plan speaks the same language.
