婚前协议，能帮你多想一步

--三个常被忽略的重要问题

Prenup 101: 3 Questions You Shouldn't Ignore

在我们的实际工作中，很多来咨询婚前协议的客户，往往带着类似的疑问：结婚当天能签吗？婚后还能补签吗？一个律师能不能代理我们两个人？

这些问题看似简单，其实背后反映了大家对婚前协议法律效力和流程的不了解。今天，我们就来一次简明梳理，希望能帮你提前准备、稳妥规划。

At The Shi Law Group, many of our clients come to us asking similar questions about prenuptial agreements: Can I sign it on my wedding day? Can we still sign something after getting married? Can one lawyer represent both of us?

These seemingly simple questions touch on critical legal principles. Here’s a clear breakdown to help you navigate the process.

💡问题一：婚前协议最晚什么时候能签？结婚当天可以吗？

原则上，婚前协议需要在婚礼之前完成，最好提前几周。虽然法律上没有硬性规定“最晚提前多少天”，但如果在婚礼当天才签署，很容易被对方事后主张“被逼签字”“没有足够时间考虑”，从而引发协议无效的风险。

建议：至少提前1-2周完成所有签署和公证流程，避免仓促决定。

💡Q1: What’s the latest we can sign a prenup? Is signing on the wedding day okay?

In theory, you can sign it right before the wedding, but it’s not recommended. Signing on the wedding day or too close to it could be challenged later as being signed under pressure, or without time to fully understand the terms. This could make the prenup unenforceable.

Our advice: Complete all signing and notarization at least 1–2 weeks in advance.

💡问题二：如果结婚了，还能再签协议吗？

可以，但那就是“婚后协议”了。婚后协议（Postnuptial Agreement）与婚前协议类似，也可以对财产归属、分配、婚姻期间的责任进行约定，但法律审查更为严格，签署时需要特别注意公平性和自愿性。

建议：如果已经结婚但仍希望明确财产安排，务必请专业律师帮助草拟婚后协议，确保合法有效。

💡Q2: Can we still sign something after we’re married?

Yes, but it would be a postnuptial agreement. Postnups serve similar purposes as prenups but are subject to stricter legal scrutiny. The court will closely examine whether both parties entered into the agreement fairly and voluntarily.

Make sure to consult an experienced attorney to draft your postnup properly.

💡问题三：我们双方可以请一个律师处理婚前协议吗？

不建议一个律师同时代表双方。婚前协议的核心，是双方知情、平等、自愿地签署。如果由同一位律师起草、并指导双方签字，很容易留下“信息不对称”“利益冲突”的法律瑕疵。

建议：由一位律师代表其中一方草拟协议，另一方可以找独立律师审阅或签署知情放弃（waiver of independent counsel）。

💡Q3: Can one lawyer represent both of us?

We don’t recommend it. A solid prenup requires both parties to fully understand the agreement and enter it voluntarily. One attorney representing both creates a risk of conflict of interest and may undermine the agreement’s validity.

Best practice: One attorney drafts the agreement for one party; the other party should retain separate counsel or sign a waiver.
