A Prenuptial Agreement or Property Settlement Agreement provides for the property rights of one or both of the prospective spouses and/or children.

It defines the rights and obligations of each of the parties in any of the property of either of them, wherever and whenever acquired or located.

This type of agreement is recognized and enforced in most, but not in all States. It must be in writing and signed by both parties.
