Prenuptial Agreement
Safeguard your assets and strengthen your financial future
with customized prenuptial agreements prepared by the skilled team at Acarkan Law.
A prenuptial agreement, or “prenup,” is a legally enforceable contract executed by partners prior to marriage. It establishes how assets, liabilities, and various financial matters will be managed during the marriage or addressed in the event of divorce. Although some may perceive prenups as unromantic, they serve as practical instruments to safeguard your financial future and reduce the risk of later disputes.
Key reasons to consider a prenuptial agreement include:
Asset Protection: Preserve premarital assets, inheritances, and family-owned businesses.
Debt Allocation: Define responsibility for personal and joint debts.
Financial Clarity: Set clear expectations and financial roles within the marriage.
Peace of Mind: Minimize the likelihood of contentious disagreements in the event of divorce.
Our prenuptial agreement lawyers ensure that your agreement reflects your specific circumstances and satisfies the legal standards of both New York and New Jersey.
A comprehensive prenuptial agreement typically addresses:
Property Division: Identifying and dividing marital and separate property.
Spousal Support: Establishing or waiving alimony terms.
Inheritance Rights: Providing for children from prior relationships.
Debt Responsibility: Assigning liability for student loans, credit cards, and other obligations.
Our legal team ensures that each aspect of your agreement is thoroughly evaluated and drafted in a manner that is both clear and legally sound.
