Family law attorney and Pittsburgh prenuptial agreement lawyer Gina M. McKlveen says prenups aren’t just for the uber wealthy. However, the average young professional can learn lessons about protecting assets from affluent individuals like Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.

McKlveen is an associate attorney who uses her experience in criminal and civil litigation to help clients navigate a wide variety of family law matters, including custody and visitation, protection from abuse and domestic violence. She recently broke down some of the industry expectations from a Kelce-Swift prenup in The Legal Intelligencer.

Few young professionals have a valuable music catalog or pricey endorsement deals, but most are likely to bring their own savings and bank accounts, retirement plans, real estate, mortgages, stock options and student loans to the altar.

“A prenuptial agreement is a practical tool to protect both spouses’ pre-marital contributions and separate property, while facilitating financial transparency in the relationship,” McKlveen said in her article.

Prenups are more than “insurance” in case your Love Story ends. McKlveen says drafting a prenup with your future spouse requires trust and full financial disclosure which facilitates productive conversations about money and lays the groundwork for healthy communication during marriage.
