A prenuptial agreement is a legal contract that two people create when they want to get married, with the purpose to instruct how any debts and assets would be divided if divorce happens. Our Queens prenup lawyer can use this tool as a safeguard for assets that get brought into the marriage, such as investments, business interests, and inheritances. Generally, prenuptial agreements are valid in 50 states, however, there are specific requirements that have to apply for the prenup to be effective and legally-binding. As our prenup attorney explains, prenuptials can be helpful for anyone who wants to protect their assets or provide clarifying expectations regarding assets and others terms in the event of divorce.
There may be common misconceptions that people have about prenups, such as they are only useful for those of substantial wealth or are used to address mistrust in the relationship. Prenups are not only about finances, as they can include terms to cover other topics such as pet ownership, end-of-life decisions, and more. The prenup must be entered voluntarily by both parties and each must have the mental capacity to know what it means to sign the document. After signatures are provided, the document is legally effective and the terms must be adhered to. If one fails to fulfill their agreements, the other may pursue legal action to enforce the prenup terms.
It is important to have a legal team that is informed about the nuances of prenuptial agreements and how to use them for your protection. Here are some reasons why clients depend on our prenup attorney for assistance:
