Pre-marital agreements are more commonly known as “pre-nups” and post-marital agreements as “post-nups”. The main difference between the two is the “pre-nup” is executed before marriage and a “post-nup” is executed after marriage. Yes, really!
These agreements are typically used by individuals who have acquired a large “separate estate”, meaning they were not married when the property was acquired, and / or have children from a prior relationship that they wish to protect. Of course, there are many life situations that bring a person to this juncture.
