Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
If you are getting married, you may want to know about prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. Experienced Buffalo divorce lawyer Randy Gugino provides some insight on the topic.
Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements | What is a Prenuptial Agreement?
A prenuptial agreement, or prenup, is an agreement made prior to marriage that establishes the property of each party and how it will be divided in the event of a divorce. Hiring an attorney before creating a prenup is important because a poorly written or prepared document can be challenged in a court of law. At our Buffalo Law Firm, Randy H. Gugino will help you create a comprehensive agreement that addresses all your issues and concerns and protects your most valuable assets.
Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements | Benefits of a Prenuptial Agreement
- Establishing Separate Property: One of the primary functions of a prenuptial agreement is to establish certain property as separate property — meaning it cannot be distributed in the event of a divorce.
- Protecting Beneficiaries: A prenuptial agreement can ensure that your property goes to your children or intended recipient after your death or divorce.
- Clarifying Responsibilities: Prenuptial agreements are also useful in establishing the roles and responsibilities of each spouse.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements | What is a Post-Nuptial Agreement?
A post-nuptial agreement is similar to a prenuptial agreement. The difference between them is that a post-nuptial agreement is created after you are married, rather than prior to the marriage. Common reasons for wanting to draft a post-nuptial agreement include establishing separate property, or to protect your assets. Dedicated Buffalo Prenuptial Agreement Attorney Randy Gugino will help you draft a comprehensive post-nuptial agreement that ensures the protection of your most valuable assets.
