Pre-nuptial and Post-nuptial Agreements

The attorneys at our law firm can tailor a pre-marital or post-marital agreement that sets out each party’s assets, debts and property rights and resolves how property and even spousal support will be handled in a future divorce or upon a spouse’s death.  Pre-nuptial agreements are entered into prior to a marriage and guarantee an estate is distributed according to the party’s desires, shelters it from a spouse and protects children from any previous marriage.

Similarly, post-nuptial agreements are voluntary contracts created following marriage. They can guide resolution of financial disagreements, assets and even children’s issues. Post-nuptial agreements can halt conflict and restore a family’s equilibrium. These agreements also can benefit spouses whose financial picture changes because of a promotion, inheritance, investments or the selling of business or real estate.

In the 21st century, couples’ economic picture is increasingly complex. Prudent spouses will establish their assets and identify their future disposition before disputes arise.
