The number of couples signing postnups is on the rise, according to a survey of matrimonial lawyers. “Postnuptial agreements are drawn up after a marriage. “Each party must be represented by their own attorney “and a full disclosure of financial assets is required,” says Anne Desormier-Cartwright of Elder and Estate Planning Attorneys PA. Postnups aren’t just for couples thinking about divorce. The estate planning technique can be used when it’s determined a child or other family member will need financial assistance throughout their life, when there’s a change in business relationships, or value of the family’s portfolios. A qualified financial advisor and estate planner will be able to guide you through the process of what will work best for you and your goals. Elder and Estate Planning Attorneys PA is a law office small enough to provide personal service, but large enough to handle all of your estate and planning needs.
