Pre-Nuptial Agreements

San Jose Prenuptial Agreements Attorney

The Padilla Law Firm

Marital agreements defining the individual rights and property of each party in a marriage have become an important consideration as more and more people choose to get married or re-marry later in life. These are legal documents, and if well-drafted they can give you the assurance that everything you have worked hard to accumulate before a marriage will remain yours if the marriage eventually fails.

The Padilla Law Firm provides experienced, knowledgeable, and thorough legal services to clients in San Jose, the Silicon Valley, and throughout the Greater San Francisco Bay Area who are interested in these agreements. An attorney can assist you with both prenuptial (also called ante-nuptial) agreements and post-nuptial agreements and make sure that your rights and interests are given the best protection.

Of primary importance in drafting these legal contracts between spouses or those planning to marry is full disclosure. Without a full disclosure of assets, debts, income, and other factors, no premarital or post-marital agreement will stand up in court.

In the documents themselves, there is often a litany of details that should be considered. Property rights, debt division, houses, medical coverage, life insurance, and whether alimony or spousal support will be paid upon divorce can and should be addressed in these documents.

In this way, the time and expense of future disputes and litigation can be avoided.

If you are seeking to protect yourself and establish your individual rights and property in marriage, contact The Padilla Law Firm in San Jose, California, today and speak with a knowledgeable marital contracts lawyer about your concerns.
