People who own a business or have significant property or other financial assets should get legal advice before entering into a marriage or filing for divorce. The sooner you seek legal advice, the more your lawyer can do to protect your interests in any future property settlement.

• Are you a professional or person with substantial assets, a business or a license to protect during a separation or divorce?
• Are you contemplating marriage and want to make sure that your wealth is protected in the event of a future divorce?
• Do you have complex assets, such as a family business or vacation home?

As high-asset divorce lawyers, we maintain confidentiality and discretion when advising you of the legal issues involving marital property division in New York.

Our lawyers can be trusted to do a thorough investigation and evaluation of your separate and marital property. Our lawyers can advise you about how you can preserve your separate property so it does not become marital property.

Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements

Marriage is a happy time, but it also involves risks. When entering into a marriage it is important to understand the legal ramifications of marriage and how to protect yourself if something goes wrong. Premarital or prenuptial agreements no longer have the negative connotation they once had. In fact, a premarital agreement can help couples contemplating marriage avoid future conflict by establishing, from the beginning, a shared understanding of what marriage entails. Premarital agreements are also used to identify separate property and prevent separate property from transmuting into marital property. With a premarital agreement, a majority of issues, especially financial issues, may already be resolved should a divorce become inevitable.

Attorney Edgar De Leon is bilingual and knows the complexity and diversity of New York’s professional legal community. Since family law rules define the relationships between members of a family as well as relationships between a family and society as a whole, this is an important factor. More than any other area of the law, this reflects the values society shares regarding how people who are related should treat each other.
