What is a Sunset Clause?

7107328235 • November 27, 2024

A Sunset Clause lets you insert a "self-destruct" button in your prenuptial agreement so that the prenup becomes void (i.e., of no legal significance and without enforcement potential) at a given date or within a number of years specified in the prenup.


Plenty of "prenup-in-a-can" services will tell you never to write a Sunset Clause into your prenup, but blanket statements rarely produce customized results. As with many prenup features, we believe that there may be some life circumstances that warrant some form of a Sunset Clause - and you may be one of those unique people.
