Property Ownership and Prenuptials — What You Need to Know
Prenuptials can be complex, and purposed to achieve multiple ends. In the upcoming series of articles, we will examine some of the goals, benefits and pitfalls of prenups. One of the important areas dealt with in prenups is the ownership of real estate, or “real property” as you will see it termed in legal documents. Before navigating the intersection of prenuptials and real property rights, it is helpful to revisit some of the different ways property can be titled and the rights and limitations the title imposes. To reacquaint ourselves with the pertinent terminology that makes further conversation possible, we refer back to two articles written with the input of New York real estate attorney and close colleague, Stephanie Zwirn. These two articles explain different types of ownership for married and unmarried people, and the benefits and restrictions set forth in how a co-owned property is titled. These terms might be referenced in a prenuptial, so a working understanding of them and their impact is important.
