Postnuptial Agreement Services in Brooklyn

Postnuptial Agreement Drafting

We draft postnuptial agreements for Brooklyn couples that address property classification, spousal maintenance, business interests, and other financial terms. Because postnups face heightened scrutiny as contracts between fiduciaries, we ensure full financial disclosure, fair dealing, and compliance with all New York requirements for enforceability.

Asset Reclassification

A postnuptial agreement can reclassify assets between separate and marital property. For Brooklyn couples, this is useful when one spouse wants to convert separate property to joint ownership or when the couple wants to designate certain assets acquired during the marriage as one spouse's separate property.

Business Protection During Marriage

If one spouse starts a business or professional practice during the marriage, a postnup can establish how that interest will be treated in divorce. We draft provisions for Brooklyn business owners that protect the enterprise while providing the non-owner spouse with fair consideration.

Reconciliation Agreements

Couples who have experienced marital difficulties and are working toward reconciliation sometimes use postnuptial agreements to establish terms that address the issues that led to the conflict. We help Brooklyn couples draft reconciliation-focused postnups that provide financial certainty.

Postnuptial Agreement Review

If your spouse has proposed a postnuptial agreement, independent legal review is essential. We review proposed postnups for Brooklyn residents, explain the implications of each provision, and negotiate modifications that protect your interests.

Postnuptial Agreement Considerations for Brooklyn Couples

Brooklyn's dynamic economy means many couples experience significant financial changes during marriage. A spouse may launch a startup in DUMBO, inherit a brownstone in Park Slope, or receive a promotion with equity compensation. A postnup allows the couple to address these developments and establish clear financial terms.

For Brooklyn couples who purchased property jointly but contributed unequal down payments, a postnup can memorialize each spouse's separate property contribution and establish how equity will be divided. This is particularly valuable in neighborhoods where rapid appreciation has significantly increased value.
