Sharpe Law Group in Dallas knows that preparing for marriage can be complex and stressful. That’s why we work directly with you and your future spouse to create a strong premarital agreement that can quickly and effectively protect what’s important to you.
A marital property agreement, also known as a premarital agreement (prenup) or postnuptial agreement (postnup), is a legal document that outlines how a married couple’s assets, debts, and other financial matters will be handled during their marriage and in the event of separation, divorce, or death. These agreements are entered into by couples before marriage (prenuptial) or after marriage (postnuptial) and can address a variety of financial and property-related issues.
Typically, marital property agreements are beneficial when either one or both spouses have separate property and want to maintain the separate property nature of such assets in the event of death or divorce. A properly executed marital property agreement can simplify the management of assets during the marriage so that spouses do not have to constantly question or worry about how to account for a particular asset.
The Texas Family Code sets out very specific requirements for a valid marital property agreement. Included in those requirements are adequate representation (of both parties), adequate disclosure of assets and liabilities, and signing formalities. Failing to enter into a valid marital property agreement can lead to a messy divorce or a contested estate administration.
