Pre-Marital Agreements in Texas

A pre-marital agreement, commonly referred to as a “prenup,” is a legal contract entered into before marriage that outlines how property, debts, and other financial matters will be handled during and after the marriage.

Why Consider a Pre-Marital Agreement?

  • Protect family-owned businesses or inherited assets.
  • Clearly define property as separate or community property.
  • Establish financial expectations and responsibilities.
  • Reduce the likelihood of disputes in the event of divorce.



Post-Marital Agreements

A post-marital agreement is similar to a pre-marital agreement but is entered into after the marriage has taken place. These agreements are often used to address changes in circumstances, clarify ownership of assets, or resolve financial issues that arise during the marriage.

Benefits of a Post-Marital Agreement

Our team ensures that post-marital agreements are crafted with care and sensitivity, always keeping your goals and the long-term health of your marriage in mind.

  • Protect one spouse’s inheritance or family wealth.
  • Safeguard assets if one spouse starts a business.
  • Establish terms for managing finances or debts during the marriage.
  • Provide peace of mind in complex financial situations.

Cohabitation Agreements in Texas

Couples who live together but are not married may still wish to protect their rights and assets. A cohabitation agreement is a legal contract that outlines financial arrangements, property rights, and expectations for living together.

What Can a Cohabitation Agreement Address?

Cohabitation agreements are particularly valuable for unmarried couples who want to ensure fairness and clarity without relying on default legal protections available to married couples.

  • Ownership of shared property or assets.
  • Financial responsibilities, such as rent, bills, and joint accounts.
  • Division of assets and debts in the event of separation.
  • Terms for sharing major purchases, such as a home or vehicle.
