Postnuptial Agreement Services in Long Island

Postnuptial Agreement Drafting

We draft postnuptial agreements for Long Island 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 Long Island 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 Long Island 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 Long Island 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 Long Island residents, explain the implications of each provision, and negotiate modifications that protect your interests.

Postnuptial Agreement Considerations for Long Island Couples

Long Island couples frequently seek postnuptial agreements when one spouse opens a professional practice, the couple purchases investment property, or a significant inheritance changes the financial picture. For couples in second marriages who did not execute prenups, a postnup is particularly valuable.

Estate planning coordination is particularly important for Long Island couples with postnuptial agreements. The postnup's property designations should align with estate documents to avoid conflicts between the marital agreement and testamentary wishes.
