What Is a Marital Agreement?
Many people understand the role of a prenuptial agreement that is contracted before the marriage and becomes effective upon the date of legal marriage, but less attention is given to marital agreements. Marital agreements, like prenuptial agreements, can divide or compound property but can be entered into at any time during a marriage. These legally binding agreements can be used for a number of different reasons and typically require an official document signed by both parties to make the agreement valid.
Working through to clarify property rights in a marriage can be a daunting task, but it can give stability and peace of mind to a married couple. If you believe that a marital agreement is right for your marriage, a skilled and experienced attorney may be able to help.

Why a Marital Agreement?
Marital agreements can effectively do two things: they are capable of partitioning personal property, including present and future income and they are also capable of converting individual property into community property so that it is jointly held by both spouses. These agreements can be advantageous in a number of different circumstances and the following are common reasons for establishing marital agreements:
- Care of the estate after death of one spouse
- Division of future pension
- Immediate separation agreements
- Establishing community property
- Establishing personal property
- Division of property in the case of a divorce
