Before the kiss at the altar

Anyone who is familiar with the home inventory industry can tell you the main reason for a home or business personal property record of belongings is to ensure disaster preparedness and recovery. There are many other reasons, though, and one is to provide an inventory for the bride and groom's prenuptial agreement.

Prenups are created to protect the couple's individual financials, but are often also drawn up to protect the assets for the children of a previous marriage. Another scenario is the adult children asking their parent to get a prenup prior to his/her 2nd marriage. This helps them rest assured that if this marriage ends either by divorce or death, the children will be able to receive family heirlooms and sentimental items.

Of course, preparing for a wedding is a very busy time. It makes sense to secure an inventory service to document the items. They will be impartial, and can complete the job quickly so you can enjoy your time planning the wedding...and happily ever after.
