Peacock QDROs Legal Services
QDRO and DRO Drafting: Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs) and Domestic Relations Orders (DROs) are legal tools used to divide retirement accounts during divorce proceedings. A QDRO is necessary when splitting retirement plans, such as 401(k)s or pensions, that fall under ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act). A DRO, on the other hand, pertains to non-ERISA retirement plans, including state and federal pensions. Attorneys skilled in QDRO and DRO drafting ensure that retirement accounts are divided fairly and in compliance with both state laws and the terms of the specific retirement plan, allowing former spouses to receive their entitled shares.
Estate Planning: Estate planning involves creating a comprehensive strategy for managing an individual’s assets and ensuring their smooth transfer to heirs. This includes drafting trusts, wills, and other legal instruments that distribute property and provide instructions for the care of minor children or dependents. Lawyers in this field help families plan for tax implications, probate proceedings, and potential disputes. Trusts are used to manage and protect assets, while wills dictate asset distribution. Estate planning ensures that families are financially secure and that assets are passed on according to the individual’s wishes.
Prenuptial Agreements: Prenuptial agreements are legal contracts entered into before marriage to protect each spouse’s assets in the event of a divorce. Attorneys assist clients in drafting these agreements, outlining the division of property, spousal support, and financial responsibilities. These agreements offer peace of mind by clarifying expectations and protecting individual wealth.
Peacock QDROs offers a flat-fee structure and operates fully online for maximum convenience. Clients can schedule virtual consultations with ease, and in-person appointments are available by request at the New York City office.
