Premarital Agreement

Attorney Jared Laskin has over nineteen years of experience preparing, negotiating and reviewing premarital agreements, also known as prenuptial agreements.

When a couple gets married, California law imposes on them a number of rights and obligations, including community property rights, support rights, and inheritance rights.

While this state-imposed "contract" is just right for some couples, others want to chart their own path and create a more customized contract. For example, a party may wish to make sure his or her pre-existing assets are protected and will never become community property.

Creating a legally binding premarital agreement involves meeting specific and technical legal requirements. A couple should not attempt to write their own premarital agreement, since the result will likely not be worth the paper it's written on. Both parties to the marriage should be represented by attorneys who are fully versed in the law relating to prenuptial agreements.
