Modern Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements: Drafting, Negotiation, Enforceability, and Litigation

About the Course

Introduction

This CLE webinar will navigate the process for drafting, negotiating, enforcing, and litigating prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. Our panel will examine how to create effective provisions for financial expectations, property, and support. The experts will discuss topics including proper disclosure, enforceability, what commonly gets agreements challenged, and strategies to prevent any future disputes.

Description

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can protect assets, define financial expectations, and address concerns before they erupt into conflict. These agreements often will address business interests, trusts/inheritances, retirement assets, support obligations, and estate planning, especially for clients in second marriages, with blended families, or in high-net-worth relationships.

Counsel must balance the clients' planning objectives against enforceability. Drafting effective agreements requires the attorney to ensure proper disclosure and to negotiate with consideration for fairness while anticipating potential future legal challenges.

Listen as our authoritative panel examines key drafting considerations, common issues, and best practices for prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.
