Creating an Effective Ante nuptial Agreement (Pre-Nuptial Agreement)

In New York, a prenuptial agreement is simply an agreement between two people that dictates how assets are to be divided upon 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 utilizes a full-service approach when drafting a prenuptial agreement. We review all concerns and address them 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 is a contract entered into after a couple is married. In certain cases, post-nuptial agreements change or continue the provisions of a pre-nuptial agreement. Postnuptial agreements may be considered if one spouse inherits assets, starts a business, has a substantial increase in income or decides to separate.

Our firm will guide and counsel you in negotiating and drafting pre-nuptial, post-nuptial, and separation agreements with two objectives in mind: to achieve your goals and to avoid any negative legal and financial consequences. Regardless of the agreement involved, we make sure that there is full disclosure of assets and debts so that the agreement cannot be successfully challenged or voided in the future. We are diligent in our efforts to create valid and enforceable pre and post-nuptial agreements that protect your rights and interests. Compared to the cost of divorce litigation, a well written pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement is well worth the money; it can save you tens of thousands of dollars in future legal fees.
