 With the recent increase in the number of marriages between people who have accumulated substantial assets -- especially those entering second marriages and senior citizen marriages later in life -- a greater need has come about for couples to create a Premarital Agreement. A Premarital Agreement (often called a Prenuptial Agreement or 'Pre-Nup) details in advance any and all financial structures should the marriage come to an end, leaving both persons (and the heirs of those persons) protected and secure. Standard Legal makes creating this Premarital Agreement step-by-step simple! Complete details below...

PREMARITAL AGREEMENT SOFTWARE :: PRENUPTIAL LEGAL FORMS
If you are contemplating marriage and have any significant amount of money or assets, it may be wise to address the marital expectations of those assets and protect your heirs by creating a Premarital Agreement.
(While creating this type of agreement can sometimes make the persons getting married uncomfortable, it's still something that should be done: it makes sense to discuss the types of financial and custody issues covered in the agreement before marriage, so that each person knows the other's expectations in advance. Quite simply, the successful discussion of the issues covered in a Premarital Agreement show your ability to communicate as a couple within your partnership!)
A Premarital Agreement, also called a "pre-nuptial" or an "ante-nuptial agreement" -- but commonly known as a "prenup", is a binding legal contract entered into by and between competent adults who are contemplating marriage.
The Premarital Agreement allows the parties to determine their community property rights and financial responsibilities upon the consummation of the marriage.
A Premarital Agreement defines the rights of each party prior to marriage. This can be important if one (or both) prospective spouse has accumulated assets they wish to protect prior to entering into the new marriage.
The pre-marital agreement also allows each party to the Agreement to provide that their assets -- or at least a large portion of them -- go to their children in the event of their death.
The Premarital Agreement is enforceable only if signed with the willing consent of both parties to the prospective marriage. That is, neither party can be under duress, pressure or force from the other party or some outside source. Only after the parties have made full disclosure of each other's financial situation to the other can a "prenup" be signed.
If the marriage contemplated by the prospective spouses never occurs, the Premarital Agreement shall have no force or effect.
In executing a Premarital Agreement the parties can avoid or alter current community property laws with regards to property already owned by the parties prior to marriage.
While the Premarital Agreement provides that assets or property owned by one of the spouses prior to the marriage remains the property of that spouse upon the dissolution of the marriage (and our Premarital Agreement allows for the full and complete disclosure of such property or assets on easy-to-use schedules), the Agreement provides that any asset or property acquired AFTER the marriage shall be owned by both parties jointly, with the right of survivorship.
The Premarital Agreement provided with this software also states that debts of one spouse shall not, before marriage, be the responsibility of the other party to the Agreement after the marriage is entered into and that debts of one spouse shall not, after the marriage, be the responsibility of the other party to the Agreement without the other spouse's written Agreement.
If you and your future spouse determine that creating a Premarital Agreement will provide clarity, security and harmony as you move into this new stage of your life, then the legal forms provided within this Standard Legal Software package are for you.
The forms provide by The Standard Legal Network are the most up-to-date, legally accurate and easiest-to-use in the industry.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS & SOFTWARE FILE SPECIFICATIONS:
Standard Legal Software works on virtually all Windows, Apple / Mac, and Linux-based systems. Links to a downloadable file are presented immediately upon the completion of your transaction. The initial download is provided as a compressed .zip file which much be expanded to access a series of folders containing all of the legal forms, overview files and instruction files. To expand the initial download, most computers come with a decompression utility like WinZip pre-installed; if your computer does not have a .zip utility, we recommend StuffIt Expander (it's FREE!).
For most titles, the initial download contains all of the forms and instructions needed. However, an active web connection is highly recommended even after the initial downloaded is completed, as some of the information contained within some of the titles may be accessible only from our online forms server. (Read the START-HERE.txt file included in the initial download for specific instructions.) The online forms server allows for the most up-to-date legal documents to be available at any time, and prevents the user from downloading forms that will never be used from titles that have an exceptionally large number of files. Once the proper forms are downloaded from our servers, they are to be completed offline; you do not need to be online to complete any of the forms.
Generally, the legal forms contained within each Standard Legal title are provided in three formats: as Microsoft Word files, as standard text files, and as Adobe PDF files. TO GET A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNCTIONALITY OF OUR LEGAL FORM FORMATS -- AS WELL AS FULLY-WORKING SAMPLES OF THOSE FORMATS -- CLICK HERE. Note that some forms are provided in only one or two of the available formats.
The fully-featured commercial version of Microsoft Word is required to complete the Word-formatted forms. Other open-source and commercial word processing programs like Microsoft Works, WordPerfect, Word Pad, OpenOffice, Google Docs, Note Pad or Simple Text may also be used, but only with the "straight text" version of the forms. Finally, the provided PDF versions of the forms require the download and installation of either Adobe's Acrobat Reader (it's FREE!), another vendor's PDF program that permits the entering of data into form fields, or the full commercial version of Adobe Acrobat.
Access to the password-protected online legal forms server (sometimes called "the online version") requires a java-enabled web browser like Internet Explorer 3.0 or later, which typically comes already installed on most systems. (If your system does not have a web browser, you can download the most recent version of Internet Explorer or Firefox for FREE.) Once you access the online version of our legal forms server, the user should read the instructions provided on the main menu and download only the specific legal forms, overviews and instructions required for his or her situation. Once all of the necessary files are downloaded, the user may complete those forms "offline" using the programs listed above.
