Postnuptial Agreement Success Case

Sometimes the need for legal help in a marriage is not because of a problem, but rather because of something good.

In this case, Spouse A had just formed a new business partnership that had a very specific shareholder agreement between the spouse and the other partners. There was a desire to ensure that the partner’s spouses received a benefit in the event that their spouse, who was a partner in the business, died, but that such a benefit did not impact the long-term ownership of the business.

Due to the way that the contract was written up, there was a requirement that all partners who were married signed a postnuptial, and those who were not married would need to sign a prenuptial.

In the case of our client, we walked Spouse B through the agreement, and why and how it would benefit them. Marriage is more than a meeting of souls and love. It is also an economic relationship, and it is important to understand how the relationship impacts you. This agreement also allowed the spouses of all the partners to share in the benefits of the business relationship, without be exposed to the risks of having ownership in the business.

A client of ours was able to keep their house because they came to us early in their financial difficulties. Most clients wait until it is too late and there run into problems that then become much more difficult and costly. Our client, a public service worker and union member, was referred to us by a friend, when they confided that their spouse had lost his job and that they would have to start seriously cutting back on their expenses, including possibly not being able to pay the mortgage. When this person came to us and explained the situation, we explained how difficult it actually can be for a bank to foreclose, and how they really do not want to foreclose, and as the process is complex and if they do it wrong it works for our clients. By hiring us, we would tell them what to do and how to do it, so that they could be more informed and in a better position than the bank employees who are the “professionals.” Due to our process and advice, the client was able to stay in their home and renegotiate a better rate over a longer term, with no additional fees, which allowed them to stay in their home with no additional headache. This they did because they were proactive and did not hide their heads in the sand.
