Prenuptial agreements

by Barry Gordon of Gordon, Mond and Ott Attorneys at Law

While planning for tomorrow is often a challenge, given the length of some marriages and "marital arrangements", it is never too soon to consider a prenuptial agreement, a postnuptial agreement or a joint ownership agreement.

A prenuptial agreement is a contract entered into by two people who are planning to get married. Typically, the agreement will address what happens to financial assets in the event of death and divorce. This is especially important if one of the people to be married is wealthier than the other, older than the other, expecting a very large inheritance, entering into a second marriage or staying home while the other spouse is building a career.

Changing the Way Business is Done on the South Shore

Networking in the 21st century has become an industry. Successful business people are building extensive networks of colleagues, mentors, and friends, and using technology to continuously reconnect with and maintain those relationships. Interconnectivity and interdependence has not only become more prominent in the business world, it has become essential to success.

Twenty-first century networking is different – it's new, innovative and explores creative outlets for business communication. Networking has been regenerated. Opportunities for it now include not only after-work dinners, but also lunches, round-table discussions, golf outings, breakfasts, casino nights, and much more.
