Pre-Marital and Post-Marital Agreements:Also called pre-nuptial agreements and post-nuptial agreements, these can be very helpful estate planning tools. Such agreements can also give you and your spouse peace of mind if you are marrying for the second time and have children from a prior relationship, or even if you just want to circumvent a messy divorce in the unlikely event that things don’t work out. Pre- and Post-nuptial agreements can save you thousands of dollars in unnecessary legal fees, and they can protect assets which you may have accumulated over your lifetime from unwanted consequences in the event of a divorce.These agreements can also protect your spouse to be, so that both of you are comfortable that your individual needs and your children’s needs will be taken care of financially, as well as emotionally, in the future. We have been preparing these types of agreements for 25 years and we are well versed in the law with respect to what your rights and obligations are toward your prospective or current spouse. One of the most important reasons you should consult with us is that we are accomplished in the areas of family and domestic law as well as estate planning, so that we can prepare these agreements in conjunction with your other estate planning documents, such as your Will or Power of Attorney, so that they complement one another, rather than conflict with one another. Many family law attorneys do not know or practice estate law and therefore cannot make certain that your wishes are followed after your death, or even in the event of a divorce.
