Negotiation And Drafting Of Nuptial Agreements

We negotiate and draft nuptial agreements of all kinds to ensure your current and future assets are protected—including family wealth, inherited wealth and trusts or family partnerships-in the event of any conflict or dispute.

Future spouses often use these agreements to start their marriages with an open financial discussion, and to avoid misunderstandings between them if their marriage dissolves. Our approach is to protect your interests first when negotiating these agreements, but we understand the sensitive nature of having your future partner on the other side. We will always take those dynamics into account when working with you.
 

Postnuptial Agreements

We represent clients in the negotiation and preparation of postnuptial agreements when circumstances arise during the marriage and a formal agreement becomes necessary. These agreements can sometimes assist marriages or partnerships that are in distress and promote reconciliation. Circumstances that might warrant a postnuptial agreement include:

Cohabitation And Living Together Agreements

Our firm is also often asked to negotiate and draft cohabitation and living together agreements between parties, should a couple choose to live together without being married, with or without children of the relationship. These agreements often involve tax considerations that we deal with frequent and, if need be retain experts to assist.

We are also called upon to litigate the validity and enforceability of prenuptial, postnuptial and cohabitation agreements as needed.

We understand the interplay between prenuptial and postnuptial agreements and client estate planning objectives, as well as the added fiduciary obligations when drafting a postnuptial agreement. Because of this, we work closely with trust and estate attorneys to ensure your planning is consistent and effective.
