Getting married in Nevada? A prenuptial agreement lets you set clear expectations about property, debt, and (where allowed) support—so you’re not relying only on default state rules.
Key points
- Prenups are recognized if they’re voluntary, in writing, and signed by both partners.
- Same as UPAA — involuntariness, unconscionability, or inadequate disclosure without waiver are grounds for invalidation.
- Nevada follows the UPAA. Must be in writing and signed before marriage. No notarization requirement, but recommended.
- This is a <strong>community‑property</strong> jurisdiction—your prenup can define what stays separate and how community property is handled.
