Long Island Prenup Attorneys

A prenuptial agreement, or a post nuptial agreement, is a contract that is entered into by two people before or after their marriage.  Prenuptial agreements define, in clear terms, how marital property will be divided, and spousal support obligations fulfilled, should the marriage end in divorce. 

More and more couples are deciding to create prenuptial agreements before entering into marriage.  A prenuptial agreement can help people:

• maintain their financial security
• protect the best interests of their families
• safeguard any inheritances
• secure wealth derived from independently owned businesses
• protect assets such as stocks or retirement funds

Before couples decide to create a prenuptial agreement, it is always advisable that each person obtain the services of a qualified matrimonial lawyer.  A matrimonial attorney can advise each person of his/her rights, inform each person of his/her legal options, ensure that the agreement is legally binding, and also make sure that the terms of the agreement are fair. 

By working with a family attorney, people can openly discuss any concerns they make have, and have their questions answered.  Couples benefit immensely from discussing their financial situation and individual wishes, and usually find that these discussions prevent future conflicts or uncertainty.
