Brooklyn, NY — Abrams Fensterman, LLP is proud to highlight Grace M. Borrino, Partner in the firm’s Matrimonial and Family Law Practice, who recently presented “The Pitfalls of Prenups” at a Columbian Lawyers Association of Brooklyn event in Coney Island.
Below are four segments from Grace’s presentation discussing common risks attorneys and individuals should carefully consider when preparing prenuptial agreements.
▶️ WATCH: Improper Notarization & Execution Errors
Grace explains why proper execution remains critical in prenuptial agreements and clarifies that CPLR 2106 does not eliminate notarization requirements. Technical signing defects can create serious enforceability issues years later.
▶️ WATCH: Signing a Prenup Too Close to Your Wedding
Signing a prenup too close to a wedding date can create allegations of pressure, duress, lack of meaningful review, or unfair bargaining circumstances. While every situation is different, courts may closely examine the circumstances surrounding the execution of a prenuptial agreement when its validity is later challenged.
▶️ WATCH: One Party Without Counsel
Grace explains why proper execution remains critical in prenuptial agreements and clarifies that CPLR 2106 does not eliminate notarization requirements. Technical signing defects can create serious enforceability issues years later.
▶️ WATCH: Inadequate Financial Disclosure
Transparency matters. Grace explains why full and accurate financial disclosure is one of the most important components of an enforceable prenuptial agreement. Incomplete disclosures, omitted assets, or inaccurate financial information can create significant challenges
