What Are the Steps to Getting a Prenup?

Step 1: You are engaged.  Congratulations!

Step 2: You start to discuss your goals and financial future as a couple, including having children, your assets and debts, income and expenses.  The subject of a prenup comes up between the two of you, or one side suggests it (often due to high income, a trust, ownership of a business, or real property, or children from a prior relationship).

Step 3: You meet with an attorney to get advice.  Both parties will need their own attorney.

Step 4: Gather a list of assets and debts and share them with your attorney.

Step 5: Discuss important terms with your attorney.  Review the agreement once it is prepared.  

Step 6: Both attorneys review terms and make edits.

Step 7: The prenup is signed (ideally at least 1 month before the wedding.)  Now you can focus on wedding planning.

Step 8: Enjoy the Big Day!

W Hat our clients are saying...

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate working with you. I have been hearing such horror stories from my clients about their lawyers…from being unresponsive to giving bad advice. I was so lucky to have found you!

Former Client

Derrick Rubin advised my elderly Dad on his apt lease renewal. Time was of the essence and Mr. Rubin reviewed the lease immediately and met with us to over questions and concerns. He is extremely professional and meticulous, as well as patient and kind. Thank you!

Former Client

Jackie Harounian is professional, very knowledgeable, responsive and above all, kind and understanding. Working with her during difficult situations became a pleasurable experience and I plan to work with her again in the future. I would suggest her and her firm to everyone.

Former Client

Thank you very much for your help throughout my divorce. Your skill, patience, and calm disposition brought me reassurance during a very dark time. I appreciate everything you have done.
