The wedding will be perhaps one of the most important events in the life of a person. A ceremony that formalizes the desire to share the rest of life with another person. A moment of happiness and optimism for everyone. But we should not put aside the precautions, the fact is that unfortunately sometimes marriage is not as we had hoped. The love is gone and the couple breaks.
With this point it is worth considering some sort of calmly prenuptial agreements on the distribution of the assets of the couple in a hypothetical case of rupture. Such agreements, which although may give some impression of lack of trust between partners, will greatly facilitate the difficult process of separation, if it arrives.
In any case, we must realize that if we take no provision for it will be tacitly accepting the law of the place of residence, which may not always coincide with our preferences. Although it is uncomfortable it is best to talk to members of the couple.
Prenuptial agreements, also called marriage are divided into three broad categories or regimes, namely:
1 – Separation of ownership: Under this regime each spouse individually retain ownership of their property after the wedding, such as those who acquired thereafter. Each spouse rightful use and enjoyment of their property, which means they can sell them without the authorization of the couple. The costs and charges are made equally.
2 – Community of property: This scheme provides that both earnings and property acquired after the wedding become the property of both spouses. Are considered proprietary assets, which belong exclusively to one spouse, those who already owned by each before the wedding, or any subsequent inheritances and gifts. In case of separation of marriage is community property divided, but not proprietary.
3 – Participation scheme: The scheme, located halfway between separate property and community of property, provides that each spouse is entitled to participate in the profits of another.
