Attorney-at-law Sherry Ann McGregor
Prenuptial agreements ("prenups") are increasingly becoming popular in Jamaica, as more persons seek to safeguard their properties ahead of marriage, said a legal expert.
Sherry Ann McGregor, attorney-at law, said that some couples are seeking to enter into legal agreements. One party to a marriage may want to preserve assets acquired prior to the marriage for children born in a previous union to inherit.
“It is still less common for you to have prenuptial agreements [than for you to] get married [without one]; but it is becoming increasingly popular and it is not only persons who are super wealthy who end up signing prenups,” she pointed out.
