Whether it’s a cherished piece of art, a collection of love letters, or a family heirloom passed down through generations, certain items carry deep sentimental and emotional value. But in the event of a divorce or separation, even the most meaningful mementos can become points of contention. That’s where a prenuptial agreement with First can make all the difference.

Why Sentimental Items Deserve Legal Protection

Sentimental and emotionally significant assets often hold a value that far exceeds their monetary worth. These can include:

Artwork or collectibles
Family heirlooms like jewelry, watches, or antiques
Personal mementos such as letters, photographs, or gifts from loved ones
Sports memorabilia or unique collections

While these items may not always have a high market value, their importance in your life and family history is immeasurable. A prenuptial agreement can ensure these treasures remain with their rightful owner, preserving both the memories and the legacy attached to them.

How a Prenup Protects Your Cherished Belongings

Clear Ownership: By specifically listing sentimental assets in your prenup, you can clarify ownership. Inclusion in a prenup will insert a guardrail against such items being given to your partner or ordered to be sold to resolve monetary disparities during divorce or separation.
Avoiding Disputes: Prenups help prevent future disagreements over who keeps what, saving you time, stress, and legal costs.
Preserving Family Heritage: Including family heirlooms in your prenup allows you to honor your family’s story and ensure these pieces are passed down to future generations.
Protecting Future Gifts and Inheritances: You can even protect items you expect to inherit or receive in the future by specifying in your prenup that these will remain separate property.
