Hi I’m Jacob my wife and I want to get a postnuptial agreement
Hey Jacob! That's great you're considering a postnuptial agreement. In Indiana, postnuptial agreements are recognized, but they must be written, signed by both parties, and entered into voluntarily. Have you already discussed the specific terms you want to include in the agreement?
Yes we decided that in the event of a divorce she should obtain all legal assets and we want them itemized for it to be as detailed as possible
Creating a detailed postnuptial agreement involves itemizing assets, which can be quite comprehensive. Here are some key points to consider:
- List all assets, including real estate, vehicles, investments, bank accounts, and personal property.
- Specify ownership and distribution terms clearly.
