A prenuptial agreement has serious and significant potential and actual legal consequences. You are urged to consult with an attorney first to make sure that a prenuptial agreement is in your best interest. We are not attorneys and we can not give you legal advice. We are not accountants or tax professionals and we can not give you tax advice. In other words, it is most important that you make sure that you understand the terms and legal effect of signing this document once it is completed.
After we prepare your agreement, you must read the prenuptial agreement carefully and you must make sure you understand what it means and the real and potential consequences thereof. There will be a 72 hour review period for the prenuptial agreement to be signed
The resource attorney has advised us to warn you that you are essentially giving up all rights to benefit from the other party financially by virtue of the marriage alone. For that reason, you are urged to obtain independent legal counsel and or tax advice of your own selection prior to entering into a prenuptial agreement.
The resource attorney has advised us to warn you that you are agreeing that, in the event of a divorce, both parties shall waive equitable distribution, both parties shall waive maintenance, both parties shall have joint custody of any children of the marriage, as well as other agreements regarding any children of the marriage. For those reasons, you are urged to obtain independent legal counsel and advice of your own selection prior to entering into a prenuptial agreement.
The resource attorney has advised us to warn you that if you enter into a prenuptial agreement, any property the parties have in separate names remains separate property (even if acquired during the marriage.) For that reason, you are urged to obtain independent legal counsel and advice of your own selection prior to entering into a prenuptial agreement.
The resource attorney has advised us to warn you that any jointly held property will automatically be owned 50/50, regardless of how much each put in. For that reason, you are urged to obtain independent legal counsel and advice of your own selection prior to entering into a prenuptial agreement.
The legal results and ramifications of your prenuptial agreement could be materially different from an agreement resulting from adversarial proceedings, or a decision which might have been rendered by a Court of Law in the State of New York. For that reason, you are urged to obtain independent legal counsel and advice of your own selection prior to entering into a prenuptial agreement.
We have provided you with a very limited view of your respective rights and obligations pursuant to the New York Domestic Relations Law with respect to your prenuptial agreement. You understand that We The People are not attorneys or accountants and cannot give legal or tax advice
