Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
for Buffalo, NY & the Surrounding Areas

If you have assets to protect either before you marry or during your marriage, it might make wise and shrewd sense to consider a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement. Rather than having the court separate all of your marital property evenly following a death or divorce, you get to decide what happens to it. Most people agree to a prenup to keep family property in their family, protect their estate plan, protect themselves from the other’s debts, and to ensure their children inherit some of their property. Our family lawyer can help you arrange this.

Our Divorce Attorney Can Help Protect Your Assets

There are many other reasons why most people require prenuptial agreements before getting married. If you have kids, your own business, a house, and other extremely important assets, it might be in your best interest to get a prenuptial agreement.

It’s important to remember that a prenup is negotiated and signed before you get married, while a postnuptial agreement is negotiated and signed while you are already married. At Maureen A. McCready, we can analyze and recommend a course of legal action designed to protect your finances without negatively affecting your marital situation.
