Prenuptial Agreements: How to Write a Fair and Lasting Contract

Katherine E. Stoner, Shae Irving

Nolo, 2008 - Family & Relationships - 316 pages

Write a prenuptial agreement and enter your marriage with eyes wide open.

Marriage is one of the few personal contracts in which your state dictates the terms -- unless you create your own customized premarital agreement.

Combining Nolo's legal expertise and plain-English writing, Prenuptial Agreementsmakes a potentially touchy subject easy to deal with while explaining how to create a valid contract. This easy-to-read book covers:

whether a prenup is right for your relationship

how to decide what a prenup should include

how to assemble a draft agreement

how to turn your draft into a contract

tips on negotiating and communicating

The new 3rd edition of Prenuptial Agreements is completely revised and updated to reflect current state laws, plus worksheets are provided as tear-outs and on CD-ROM, as well as clauses for preparing an agreement that suits your unique needs.

The CD-ROM that accompanies the printed version of this book includes forms or other tools; in this eBook, you'll find all those documents in the appendix or at the back of the book.
