A Prenuptial Agreement Is Not Voidable under the Theory of Fraudulent Misrepresentation as to the Value of Assets Unless the Party Attacking the Agreement Proves Justifiable Reliance on the Misrepresentation: Porreco v. Porreco

Authors

Brenden D. Long

Abstract

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court held that a husband's misrepresentation as to the value of the engagement ring, made during the process of forming the prenuptial agreement, does not constitute fraud, and therefore void the prenuptial agreement, when there is no justifiable reliance by the party claiming that the representation of value was fraudulent.
