Postnuptial Agreements

While postnuptial agreements are still not commonplace, their growing popularity testifies to their invaluable role in setting a marriage on firm foundations – not necessarily an “unromantic” gesture at all, we believe. The postnuptial agreement is a contract that allows couples to solidify their relationship expectations; ultimately, it is there to protect the property rights of both partners. In the disappointing event of dissolution, couples that took this simple, prudent step can expect a more amicable and streamlined divorce.

Meakins Law is executing a growing number of postnuptial agreements for practically-minded couples. Our attorneys are skilled at addressing complex financial issues, including business and corporate interests, pensions and retirement plans, stock portfolios and real property, in order to craft a perfect agreement.
