New York Postnuptial Agreement: What Is It?

A New York Postnuptial Agreement is a document that serves as a formal contract detailing the way that a property is to be divided between two individuals that are married in the event that one of them files for divorce or passes away. It only applies to individuals that are married.

If this were to happen, a court case will be opened and this will be dealt with by the relevant court. In the court, a judge will eventually need to make a final decision on whether or not to enforce the agreement. As a general rule, judges will agree to the implementation of the document as long as the information below is taken into account:

• Any arrangements made between the two parties should be documented in a written agreement and signed by both parties;
• No pressure must be exerted to force an individual to sign the contents of the document;
• The judge will scrutinize the conditions outlined in the agreement;
• Each spouse should also provide information about their total income as well as information about any assets or properties.
