Pre-Marital Agreements are appropriate
primarily for disparities in income, assets or debt, and in situations where
there are children of a previous relationship.
I
estimate one hour of my time to prepare a standard Pre-Marital Agreement -- assuming all
terms are agreed in advance.
These
agreements are usually a good idea. They make a clear statement about your situation before the
marriage. They are recognized in the part of the Virginia Code called the
"Premarital Agreement Act". 20
VA Code §§ 147-155.
E-mail
me a list of what you each have (and owe), what you each earn, addresses,
dates of birth, wedding date, and any special provisions.
I
will then confirm a proposed flat fee in a written contract for legal
services that you should sign and return with your
check.
Preparation of a Pre-Marital Agreement usually requires about two business days.
