Postnuptial Agreement Attorneys Serving Akron and Northeast Ohio

Serving Akron, Canton, Summit County, Portage and Medina, Ohio.

Marriage brings shared goals, financial responsibilities, and long-term planning. For couples looking to define those responsibilities and protect individual assets, a postnuptial agreement can offer clarity and legal peace of mind. At Hoover Kacyon, LLC, we prepare postnuptial agreements that support healthy marriages and coordinate with your estate planning goals.


A well-crafted postnuptial agreement is not about anticipating failure. It is about creating a mutual understanding and protecting what matters most, especially when significant assets, inheritances, or estate planning structures are involved.

Understanding the Role of Postnuptial Agreements in Estate Planning

A postnuptial agreement is a legal contract between spouses that outlines how assets, debts, and property would be handled in the event of divorce, death, or separation. Unlike a prenuptial agreement, it is created after the marriage takes place. For many couples, it is part of a broader effort to align their finances, manage inheritance expectations, and protect children from previous relationships.


These agreements are especially valuable when one spouse enters the marriage with significant premarital property, owns a business, expects a family inheritance, or wants to preserve control over specific assets. A postnuptial agreement can prevent future disputes, reduce probate complications, and strengthen your estate planning documents by clearly defining what is marital and what remains separate.



By working with experienced counsel, you can ensure that your agreement is fair, enforceable under Ohio law, and customized to reflect your unique goals.
