Seeking a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement on Long Island?
The main difference between prenuptial and postnuptial agreements lies
in the fact that a prenup is written before the marriage, while a postnup
is written after. Both are considered valid in court, unless unreasonably
slanted toward one spouse's favor. In either case, these agreements
can set the standard for resolving conflict throughout the course of a marriage.
Factors considered in a prenup include:
- Property possession
- Estate planning (beneficiaries, etc.)
- Responsibility for debt and bills
-
Alimony (in the case of divorce)
- Other significant matters
It is never too late to write a nuptial agreement. If you missed the opportunity
to write a prenup before marriage, you can take advantage of the same
opportunities with a postnuptial agreement at any time during the course
of your marriage. Additionally, you can modify the terms of a prenuptial
agreement whenever the need arises.
With the legal team at Jonathan E. Edwards P.C., you can take confidence
that your interests will be preserved and your well-being protected.
