PROTECTING YOUR INTERESTS
Specializing Exclusively in California Marital Agreements.
--- Everything to Gain, IF YOU CALL
--- Everything to Lose, IF YOU DON'T
Take Control of Your Affairs. Don't let the State Decide. Let us capture your wishes by working close with you and providing options based on our extensive experience in this area.
Many couples choose to be proactive in their financial affairs and determine which assets should be joint and which assets should remain separate. Some areas our Clients have chosen to protect through ownership percentages are:
- Marital Home & Other Real Estate Investments
- Retirement Accounts and Salary Income
- Small Business Ownership
- Inheritance
- Debts brought into the marriage.
We also specialize in protecting our residents in international marriages, who look forward to marrying foreign brides, from the former Russia, Ukraine, Latin America and Asia. It is extremely important to execute a prenuptial agreement with your foreign bride or groom prior to bringing her or him into the United States; this will allow you to focus on them and not your financial affairs.
MAIN SERVICES
-- We Draft, Modify, and Review ALL Types of Marital Agreements and Related Contracts.
PRE-NUPTIAL AGREEMENTS (BEFORE MARRIAGE)
A prenuptial (or premarital) agreement is "an agreement between prospective spouses made in contemplation of marriage and to be effective upon marriage.”
POST-NUPTIAL AGREEMENTS (DURING MARRIAGE)
A postnuptial agreement is a voluntary marriage contract between spouses that is created after their wedding.
COHABITATION AGREEMENTS (LIVING TOGETHER WITHOUT MARRIAGE)
A cohabitation agreement is a voluntary contract between two individuals that are or will be living together for a long period of time, but not in a marriage arrangement.
REVIEW MARITAL AGREEMENTS
We will review existing agreements and discuss the importance of controlling parts of the agreement -- in essence interpret the contract for you.
AMEND OR MODIFY MARITAL AGREEMENTS
We will help you modify the agreement if your lifestyle or other important circumstances have changed. Even if you signed what you thought was a fair Prenup, it's a good idea to update it every five years or so to reflect changes in your income and asset holdings.
