Prenuptial Agreement Services in New York
Prenuptial Agreement Drafting
We draft prenuptial agreements for New York couples that address property rights, spousal maintenance, business interests, and other financial terms. Our agreements comply with New York's enforceability requirements, including voluntary execution, full financial disclosure, and independent legal representation or the knowing waiver of representation for each party.
Asset Protection
A primary purpose of a prenup is protecting individual assets from equitable distribution. For New York couples, we draft provisions that clearly identify separate property, establish protocols for keeping separate assets separate during the marriage, and address the treatment of appreciation on individual assets.
Business Interest Protection
If you or your partner owns a business, professional practice, or partnership interest, a prenup can establish how that interest will be treated in divorce. We draft provisions for New York business owners that protect the business from division while addressing the other spouse's rights fairly.
Spousal Maintenance Provisions
Prenuptial agreements can establish caps, formulas, or waivers for spousal maintenance. We advise New York couples on what provisions are enforceable under New York law and draft terms that provide reasonable protections for both the higher-earning and lower-earning spouse.
Prenuptial Agreement Review
If your partner has presented you with a prenuptial agreement, independent counsel should review the terms before signing. We review prenups for New York residents, explain the implications of each provision, and negotiate modifications to protect your interests.
Prenuptial Agreement Considerations for New York Couples
New York courts generally enforce prenuptial agreements when they are executed voluntarily, with full financial disclosure, and without unconscionable terms. Having independent counsel for each party strengthens enforceability significantly.
Timing matters. Courts view prenuptial agreements presented days before the wedding with greater scrutiny than those negotiated months in advance. We recommend starting at least two to three months before the wedding.
