Prenuptial / Postnuptial Agreement
Drafts an enforceable marital agreement with financial disclosure, property classification, support provisions, and procedural safeguards tailored to the governing US jurisdiction.
Quick Start
Gather before drafting:
- Agreement type — prenuptial (pre-marriage) or postnuptial (during marriage)
- Governing jurisdiction — state of execution and residence of each party
- Applicable framework — UPAA, UPMAA, or state-specific statute
- Financial disclosures — asset inventories, account statements, business valuations, income documentation for both parties
- Existing documents — prior marital agreements, estate plans, business operating agreements
Core Workflow
1. Jurisdictional Analysis
Determine before drafting:
| Factor | Options |
|---|
| Framework | UPAA / UPMAA / state-specific statute |
| Disclosure standard | Full & fair / reasonable / statutory schedule |
| Spousal support waiver | Permitted / limited / unconscionability review at enforcement |
| Waiting period | State-required minimum before wedding (e.g., 30 days) |
| Independent counsel | Required / recommended / waivable |
| Execution formalities | Notarization, witnesses, self-proving affidavit |
2. Financial Disclosure Schedules (Exhibits A / B)
Each party discloses under sworn representation:
- Real property — legal descriptions, FMV, encumbrances
- Financial accounts — institution, type, approximate balance
- Retirement accounts — plan type, vested amount, beneficiary
- Business interests — entity, ownership %, valuation methodology
- Intellectual property — description, estimated value
- Vehicles and tangible personal property above threshold
- All liabilities — secured, unsecured, contingent, tax
- Income from all sources — employment, business, investment, rental
- Monthly expenses and regular financial obligations
State that material misrepresentation or concealment may render agreement voidable.
3. Property Classification
- Separate property — pre-marital assets (reference disclosure schedules), gifts, inheritances received individually
