Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congratulations! You've decided to get married. It's a wonderful time, but there's more to think about than just the perfect wedding and honeymoon. Marriage is more complicated than it used to be. People are marrying later in life and perhaps for the second or third time. Often they are bringing more assets and more liabilities into the relationship, blending children from previous relationships, and generally facing all kinds of new challenges. Marriage contracts, wills and Powers of Attorney are all valuable ways to set your expectations in advance. Do We Need a Marriage Contract? is written in clear, nontechnical language and includes real-life examples based on Canadian cases, including topics such as protection of assets brought into the marriage, practical and financial concerns of blending children into new families, family pressure to have a marriage contract, and practical information on how marriage contracts work with your wills and Powers of Attorney.
