If you or your spouse has just come into some money, acquired a new asset or gained some debt, you might want to speak to post nuptial lawyers.
A post nuptial agreement happens after your wedding day. As your marriage progresses, and your financial responsibilities change, you might be spurred into making a post nuptial agreement to create a fair and equitable plan for both spouses, should you ever separate.
How Our Post Nuptial Lawyers Can Help You
A post nuptial agreement is a legal contract that a married couple can obtain. It addresses the separation of assets, property and debts, after the couple is already married but before any possible separation. A post nuptial agreement is also sometimes referred to as a postnup or a postmarital contract.
A post nuptial agreement will include the same elements as a pre nuptial agreement, the only difference is that you’ll sign it after you’re already married.
A post nuptial lawyer is someone who specialises in the creation, negotiation and enforcement of post nuptial agreements. They will help you create a postnup, to ensure that the agreement is fair.
A post nuptial lawyer will also:
- Offer legal advice
- Ensure both parties have met the disclosure standards
- Help negotiate equitable terms for both parties
- Draft and review the agreement
- Ensure the best interests of the individual are met (not the couple as a whole)
It’s advised that both parties instruct their own post nuptial lawyer, when going into a postnup. Whilst you can write your own post nuptial agreement, this must meet all the criteria required for it to be valid.
