Creating an Effective Ante nuptial Agreement (Pre-Nuptial Agreement)
Under New York pre- and post-nuptial agreement law, a pre-nuptial agreement is simply an agreement between two people that dictates the division of assets in the event of divorce or death. Pre-nuptial agreements and other agreements pertaining to marriage are governed by contract law. A properly executed pre-nuptial agreement is given the same presumption of legality attached to any other contract.
The Kepanis Law Firm provides a full-service approach when drafting a pre-nuptial agreement. All concerns are addressed in the agreement, including:
- Assets brought into the marriage
- Tax consequences of specific asset division agreements
- Disposal of assets in the future
- Children from prior marriages
- Estate planning concerns
- Protection of family or small businesses/enterprises
Post-nuptial Agreements
A post-nuptial agreement, as the name implies, is a contract entered into after a couple is married. Post-nuptial agreements may change or continue the provisions of a pre-nuptial agreement. Post-nuptial agreements may be considered if one spouse inherits assets, starts a business, has a substantial increase in income or decides to separate.
The experienced pre- and post-nuptial law team at The Kepanis Law Firm will guide and counsel you in negotiating and drafting pre-nuptial, post-nuptial, and separation agreements with two primary objectives:
- to accomplish your goals; and,
- to avoid any negative legal and financial consequences
In every agreement, we ensure that there is full disclosure of assets and debts so that the agreement cannot be successfully challenged or voided in the future. We will create a valid and enforceable pre- and post-nuptial agreement that will protect your rights and interests.
