Brooklyn powerhouse legal firm featured in Forbes on ‘Prenups’
One of New York’s most experiences lawyers for family and divorce matters is an executive partner at Abrams Fensterman’s Brooklyn headquarters. In a recent interview for Forbes Magazine, she clarified some key points about something called “Prenups.”
“The reasons for creating prenuptial agreements are very clear,” says RoseAnn Branda, speaking at her MetroTech office of Abrams Fensterman. “They’re used to protect the family wealth including ensuring that the assets stay in the line of the biological family that presently owns them. They’re used to protect the interests of children from a prior marriage or affair and to avoid a contested divorce that might incur large legal fees and adverse publicity. Prenuptial agreements can be very worthwhile provided they’re done right.”
It is important to realize that the courts will not likely enforce prenuptial agreements in certain cases. In the Forbes article by Russ Alan Prince, entitled “How to Bust Prenuptial Agreements,” Branda clarifies what makes a prenup weak enough to be challenged.
