Prenuptial Agreement

Secure your financial future and protect your assets with tailored prenuptial agreements crafted by the experienced team at Krasner Law.

Marriage is one of life’s most significant commitments, and planning for the future is an important part of entering into this partnership. A prenuptial agreement lawyer can provide essential legal counsel to help protect your assets and clarify expectations before you say, “I do.” At Krasner Law, we work in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating prenuptial agreements tailored to your specific needs. Whether you reside in New York or New Jersey, our team, led by experienced family law attorney Leona Krasner, is here to guide you through the process with compassion and understanding.

A prenuptial agreement, commonly known as a “prenup,” is a legally binding contract entered into by couples before marriage. This agreement outlines how assets, debts, and other financial matters will be handled during the marriage or in the event of a divorce. While some view prenups as unromantic, they are practical tools for protecting your financial future and avoiding potential conflicts down the road.

Here are a few reasons to consider a prenuptial agreement:

Asset Protection: Safeguard premarital property, inheritance, and family businesses.
Debt Allocation: Clearly outline responsibility for individual and shared debts.
Financial Clarity: Establish financial roles and expectations during the marriage.
Peace of Mind: Avoid contentious disputes in the event of a divorce.

Our prenuptial agreement lawyers help your agreement reflect your unique circumstances and complies with the legal requirements of New York and New Jersey.

A well-drafted prenuptial agreement covers several important areas, including:

Property Division: Detailing how marital and separate property will be categorized and divided.
Spousal Support: Setting terms for alimony or waiving it altogether.
Inheritance Rights: Clarifying provisions for children from previous relationships.
Debt Responsibility: Outlining liability for student loans, credit cards, and other debts.

Our prenuptial agreement attorney team helps all aspects of your agreement be carefully considered and legally sound.
