Marriage contracts examples

One of the most beautiful things that can happen to us is to share our life forever with that person we love so much. But have you ever heard that sometimes before formalizing the marital bond, some agreements regarding the assets of each person are previously agreed upon and you don’t know why they do it or what they consist of?  Well, these agreements are called marital contracts and we will explain them below.
There are couples who prefer to leave established some capitulations previously to the formalization of the union in order not to mix the own goods of each one with the goods that in future will be part of the same one, that is to say, they make a separation of goods. In case this declaration of will is not made, the own goods of both, once the union is solemnized, begin to be part of the partnership, that is to say, they belong to both, and in case of a future divorce, these goods will be subject to liquidation of the partnership.
