Rockland County Premarital Agreements Attorney
A premarital agreement (also called a prenuptial agreement) is a planning tool for marriage, not an intention to divorce. Prenuptial agreements provide security for a couple contemplating marriage and for their family members. Assets are protected and there is security for both spouses as they enter their new life together.
At the law office of Nancy B. Morris in New City, New York, I advise clients who are considering a prenuptial agreement. I have extensive experience in premarital matters, as well as other family law issues.
Fosters Better Communication
Premarital agreements encourage communication between future spouses on matters that may be difficult and uncomfortable, but must be explored. Financial problems are a common causes of marital discord. It is important to be open and have this discussion now with your future spouse rather than later after problems arise. This enables you both to clarify financial questions and unite in a joint understanding of your plans for your future together. There are many benefits to having a prenuptial agreement, including:
- Protection of assets owned by one or both spouses and the desire to preserve those assets for children from a previous marriage.
- Protection of business interests owned by one or both spouses and the desire to preserve those interests and the interests of business partners.
- Reassurance regarding avoidance of additional losses of assets for parties who have been previously divorced.
- Reassurance for children from a previous marriage regarding inheritance or future assets.
Protects Assets and Each Other
In representing a client in premarital matters, I consider protection of many kinds of assets, including:
- Stocks, bonds and pensions
- Business property
- Personal property such as art work/antiques
- Real estate
- Inheritances
