Prenuptial agreements have exploded over the past 20 years, not
only among celebrities, but also for all types of people who desire
to protect, manage, or enhance their personal, family, or business
assets against foreseen and unforeseen circumstances. Attorneys
have been assigned the task of cutting through a morass of issues
to create agreements that achieve the goals of their clients while
meeting complex, and often subtle, legal requirements. Drafting
Prenuptial Agreements is the first guidebook ever to cover this
growing area of family law. Written by Gary N. Skoloff and Richard
H. Singer, Jr., Skoloff andamp; Wolfe, Livingston NJ, and Ronald L.
Brown, Editor, American Journal of Family Law, Aspen Publishers,
Drafting Prenuptial Agreements presents a pragmatic approach to
preparing successful agreements quickly and effectively in any
situation by grouping together and identifying the common areas
that need to be addressed. The authors guide you through planning
the agreement and the types of issues to discuss with different
clients. This thoughtful organization gives you easy access to the
tools you need to clearly present the range of choices to be
addressed in each type of agreement and situation. Five sample
agreements create broad groupings of issues which let you quickly
zero in on the concerns parties at specific stages of life and
affluence are most likely to want covered by their prenuptial
agreement: YOUNG-YOUNG, EQUAL ASSETSand#8212;For young people in
the early stages of promising careers, where each has some assets
and wants to protect these, as well as their careers, as separate
property. YOUNG-YOUNG, DISPROPORTIONATE ASSETSand#8212;For people
of middle age or younger, where one already has, or is likely to
acquire, substantial assets, and wants to protect these assets as
separate property, while reasonably providing for the needs of the
marriage, as well as the spouse and any children upon divorce.
YOUNG-OLD, DISPROPORTIONATE ASSETSand#8212;For a couple with a
large age disparity, where the older party has substantial wealth
which he or she wants to preserve for his or her estate, and also
wants to provide for disability or incapacity. OLD-OLD,
DISPROPORTIONATE ASSETSand#8212;For an elderly couple, where one
party has substantially fewer assets than the other, yet is
comfortable, and where both want to protect their separate
property, provide for a comfortable lifestyle during the marriage
and reasonably provide for the spouse with fewer assets upon death
or divorce. OLD-OLD, EQUAL ASSETSand#8212;For older parties with
similar assets who want to protect their property as separate, yet
provide an arrangement by which they can live commensurate with
their resources. Drafting Prenuptial Agreements includes a CD-ROM
with sample agreements and hundreds of time-saving clauses!
