Prenuptial Agreements

Addison and Dallas, Texas, Prenuptial Agreement Attorney

Foremost in the minds of most people entering marriage are the relationships that marriage involves, including a life-long relationship with a spouse, as well as new family members and, often, children.

Marriage also has significant consequences in another important area—finances and property. Generally, marriage leads to the joint ownership of all income and property gained during the marriage.

Many couples choose to forgo the de facto joint property ownership that marriage imposes. The most effective tool for couples to taking control of their property rights in a marriage is with a prenuptial agreement.

Popular perceptions teach that prenuptial agreements are simple tools for dividing property. The prenuptial agreement legal process, however, can be complicated, and is best handled by an experienced family law lawyer. The Law Office of Justin Wallace has helped individuals and couples with their marital property legal questions.

Prenuptial agreements, also known as premarital agreements and marital agreements, often need to take into account the ownership of retirement accounts, family property, family businesses, and part-ownership of a family farm or vacation home. Community property and separate property must be identified and accounted for before the agreement is drafted.

In the event of a divorce, questions can arise regarding what property was owned individually before the marriage, whose money maintained what property. Questions can also arise regarding money made during the marriage. Thousands or millions of dollars can be at stake.

Attorney Justin Wallace is experienced in identifying the wishes of the marrying couple, and creating prenuptial agreements that fully reflect their wishes. In addition to drafting prenuptial agreements, Justin also drafts postnuptial agreements, and can review the marital agreement drafted by your spouse's attorney.
