Tailored Legal Protection for Relationships
At Mandelbaum Barrett PC, we understand that every relationship is unique, and we’re here to provide comprehensive legal guidance to protect your interests and assets. Whether marriage or cohabitation is on your mind, our attorneys specialize in creating customized Prenuptial and Cohabitation Agreements drafted to address your specific needs.
Protect Your Future, Secure Your Present
Many couples preparing to marry have excellent reasons to enter prenuptial agreements, or “prenups.” If you are in a long-term, live-in relationship and do not plan to marry, you can accomplish similar goals with a cohabitation agreement. In either case, setting down rules and stipulations for division of property if your relationship breaks down may provide peace of mind and prevent stressful, costly litigation down the road. We can provide advice on how to address assets to protect them n the event of a future dim.
Our Services:
Prenuptial Agreements: A prenuptial agreement may address spousal support and how assets, debts, and other financial matters will be addressed in the event of divorce or if desired death. There is significant legislation that governs the enforceability of prenuptial agreements. If the statutory requirements for drafting a prenuptial agreement are not met, then the agreement may be susceptible to litigation relative to its enforceability down the line. The statutory requirements include, but are not limited to, a full and complete disclosure of one’s finances.
Our team will guide you through the process, ensuring the agreement is fair, comprehensive, and complies with the governing legislation and case law.
Cohabitation Agreements: Unmarried couples living together can also benefit from legal protection. A cohabitation agreement sets clear expectations about property rights, financial responsibilities, and more, providing peace of mind for both parties involved in the event the relationship should end.
Why Prenuptial and Cohabitation Agreements Matter:
- Protect Your Assets: Safeguard your hard-earned assets and investments by outlining their distribution in advance.
- Clarify Financial Responsibilities: Clearly define financial responsibilities during your relationship and in the unfortunate event of a breakup.
- Preserve Family Interests: If you have children from previous relationships, a well-crafted agreement can ensure their financial well-being is protected.
- Minimize Conflict: Address potential conflicts before they arise, reducing stress and potential legal battles in the future.
- Peace of Mind: With a solid legal framework in place, you can focus on building a strong and fulfilling relationship without constant worry about what might happen if things change.
