Signing Requirements
Both spouses need to sign the agreement. No additional witnesses or acknowledgments are required even though it is highly recommended.[1]

Case – Simeone v. Simeone – 525 Pa. 392, 581 A.2d 162 (1990)
Prenuptial agreements are contracts, and, as such, should be evaluated under the same criteria as are applicable to other types of contracts. See Geyer, 516 Pa. at 508, 533 A.2d at 431 (“These agreements are nothing more than contracts and should be treated as such.” (Nix, CJ. dissenting)). Absent fraud, misrepresentation, or duress, spouses should be bound by the terms of their agreements.
