Prenuptial Agreements: How to Write a Fair & Lasting Contract, 4th Edition 4th Edition

If you live in the state of California and need a post-nup for any reason, both you and your spouse will need to retain counsel. During my quest to find legal representation for a post-nup, prior to purchasing a house, I came accross a number of lawyers who wanted to upsell for services. I was lucky enough to find a great lawyer who recommended I save a few bucks and start the process myself, using Nolo. You can use this book for post-nups, with just a few changes in the wording.You can then have the 2 lawyers review your agreement and viola! you're done.This book was incredibly helpful and the templates were easy to find online. The book does not come with CDs. The book is full of examples and I was able to find the example that perfectly suited my situation.I should mention, however, that these nolo books are great! The only exception would be their book on estate planning. I'm just passing on what my lawyer told me.

This is an excellent reference and guide. Lots of information, more than most will need, but it provides a template, guide and then suggests nearly every contingency one might consider. We found the basic elements that we needed and composed around simpler requirements. The iron clad lawyer proofing and brass knuckle document strategies mostly work to a lawyer's advantage, not to yours, so we kept the basic subjects to fewer groups of money, property and inheritances defined for separation, divorce or death. This was followed up with a Will and a Living Trust, using the same Nolo books. For firming up new relationships, this a best book to go with, but think in terms of only your needs and not the totality of the book, or you'll be frustrated.

Don't put your head in the sand. Think it out now and work it out now. Divorce is painful enough, fix this NOW. Before you are married. It is good to talk about your concerns and protect each other in life and in death or if there is a need to divorce.

This book should have been taken off the market as soon as the websites given in the book were no longer viable. A real rip-off as that is what we needed to get CURRENT information. I really want my money back !

Good book for an overview of the prenuptial process. Good to use to understand the approach. I learned that lawyers often use software templates that has the legal speak you need for your state. Engage the cheapest lawyer you can if your situation is not complex. I would not use the templates that come with this book.

I found this book extremely informative, the worksheets are very helpful in getting started. Doing a prenup can be intimidating too and it helped take some of the fear out of doing a prenup. I realized that doing one is best for both of us. I definitely recommend this book!

Back in 1995 I did my divorce using NoloIn 2003 I did my chapter 7 using NoloNow I am doing my prenup using NoloThe are great and this book it great!!Thank Goodness there is a company like Nolo to help us.

Great book and resource. Read the sample online before you buy it. The sample tells you exactly what the book covers, and will help you decide if the book is for you. You do not need to buy the book to get the forms. The link to the forms is in the sample. The book is great at explaining in layman's terms what each part of the document pertains to. So if you need that extra information, get it. When we submitted our prenup to our lawyers they were impressed with how perfectly it was written, and had no edits to make.
