Marriage

Family law is often skewing on the negative side, such as battles of custody and divorces. However, it is not all doom and gloom. A family lawyer can also help you prepare for marriage. We can guide you through the legal requirements for marriage and how it will impact you and your spouse.

A marriage lawyer can also help prepare a prenup agreement before the marriage. If you and your spouse are bringing any pre-owned assets into the marriage, then it may be wise to draft up a prenup agreement. A prenup essentially decides how to divide up the wealth in case there is a divorce or death. Getting it sorted out early stops headaches down the road. Protect your assets and secure your future with a family lawyer.

Drafting Estate Plan and Wills

Wills and estate plans are something that you can always revise. What they do is ensure that your assets are protected when someone passes away or if someone is unable to make their own decisions. Oftentimes these issues are left until the last minute when a tragedy occurs. But by having it complete beforehand, you do not have to worry about sorting anything out.

In a nutshell, a will describes how the assets in questions will be divided up among all of the dependents. An estate plan is simply a more elaborate version of a will and describes the management and ownership of all assets in questions. What an estate plan does best is protects the heirs from liabilities and legal issues that may arise over the transfer of ownership.

Both an estate plan and will are important to have for every family. Preparing them can be a difficult process, as some tough answers may be made.

Well, you can start by getting in touch with Elsie Acevedo, who has years of experience as a family lawyer on Long Island and can help you get your ducks in a row.
