Protecting Your Financial Interests Through Prenuptial Agreements
At our Richmond law firm, attorney Nancy Quinn provides detailed guidance for prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. She has 19 years of family law experience. She can evaluate your financial concerns and draft prenuptial and postnuptial agreements suited to your needs.
The Power of a Prenuptial Agreement
When considering premarital agreements, it is best to consult an experienced Virginia attorney as early as possible before your wedding date. Prenuptial agreements define the rights of both parties during your marriage and each party's rights if the marriage terminates because of divorce or death of a spouse.
Attorney Nancy Quinn possesses sophisticated knowledge of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. She can draft an agreement that addresses your needs, with the goal of not alienating your future spouse. She can create an agreement that:
- Protects your adult children's inheritance rights
- Defines your future spouse's rights if the marriage terminates due to death or divorce
- Defines how marital property will be divided upon divorce
If you are presented with a prenuptial agreement, you should also consult our attorney as soon as possible. Ms. Quinn can review the agreement and determine its merit. She can provide in-depth guidance to help you decide whether the agreement is in your best interest.
Postnuptial Protections
At Kanady & Quinn, P.C., our family law attorney has extensive experience reviewing and drafting postnuptial agreements. She understands how changes in a couple's finances can create the need for postnuptial protections. These agreements are basically the same as prenuptial agreements, except they are written after your marriage.
Your agreement can help settle major issues. You and your spouse can outline and agree to how property, inheritance and rights to support will be handled if your marriage ends in divorce or death.
Estate Planning Essentials
Your prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can be rendered meaningless if you don't follow up with correct estate planning documents. Without the correct estate documents, substantial asset and inheritance issues can still occur even with the best prenuptial agreements in place. It is essential that you consult an experienced lawyer to properly ensure you can achieve your goals.
