Question 1.
This program is designed to write a Postnuptial Agreement. This is
an agreement between two married persons who wish to specify the
rights that they have in their property.
Question 2.
Be sure to list the proper names of both persons to the Agreement.
Use all names that the person is known by particularly if he or she
owns property under a different name. This can be done by
designating "aka" between names. (This means "also known as").
Here you can designate the First Party to the Agreement. It
doesn't matter which person is listed first.
Question 3.
Be sure to list the proper names of both persons to the Agreement.
Use all names that the person is known by particularly if he or she
owns property under a different name. This can be done by
designating "aka" between names. (This means "also known as").
Here you can designate the Second Party to the Agreement. It
doesn't matter which person is listed first.
Question 4.
Generally, there are three kinds of property laws in the United
States that vary from State to State. Community property laws can
be considerably different than the other laws so it is important to
designate if the user lives in one of these States.
Question 5.
This question gives you the opportunity to list your property on
Exhibits if you wish. If there is an extensive amount of property
it should be listed on Exhibits. Otherwise, answer "no" to this
question and the program will allow you to designate your property
within the document. Both methods are perfectly legal.
Note that you needn't specify all of your personal effects:
just the major items of property (both real and personal) that you
own.

Having chosen not to list the property on Exhibits, you are given
the opportunity to list it in the document. First you have the

Question 61.
Here, you are given the opportunity to describe the real property
that belongs to the parties. A general description of the property
will be sufficient for these purposes. This is most often a street
address, city and State.
Question 62.
The most important aspect of this type of Agreement is the
designation of what property, if any, will become the property of
both parties and what property will remain owned by one of the
parties individually. If any property is to become joint, then
this question should be answered in the negative.
Question 63.
This question should also be answered in the negative unless all of
the property acquired during the marriage is to become jointly
owned by both persons.
Question 64.
Assuming that both Questions 63 and 64 are answered in the
negative, the program will allow you to designate which property is
to become owned by both Parties. Property not listed in the next
questions will be assumed to remain the separate property of the
Party now owning it.
Question 65.
Even though property is specifically identified as belonging to the
First Party to the Agreement, he or she may wish to designate that
the property will belong to both persons. Once property is given
to both parties to the agreement, it can not be "taken back" by the
person originally owning it without the consent of the other
person.
Question 66.
Here, you can describe the property that the First Party is giving
to both parties.
Question 67.
Even though property is specifically identified as belonging to the
Second Party to the Agreement, he or she may wish to designate that
the property will belong to both persons. Once property is given
to both parties to the agreement, it can not be "taken back" by the
person originally owning it without the consent of the other
person.
Question 68.
Here, you can describe the property that the Second Party is giving
to both parties.
Question 69.
The program will allow you to designate certain debts which
will become the responsibility of both persons. If there are debts
which both parties will be responsible for, then this question
should be answered "no".
Question 70.
Assuming question 69 was answered in the negative, the
program now allows you to designate those debts which both persons
will be responsible for.
Question 71.
The program allows you to designate if either Party owns the
dwelling where they live. This is important to determine if the
other Party is to receive an interest in the property. Here, both
parties have bought the dwelling together, and it should therefore
belong to both of them.
Question 72.
If the parties are leasing a dwelling, this too should be
specified.
Question 73.
The program allows you to designate if either Party owns the
dwelling where they live. This is important to determine if the
other Party is to receive an interest in the property.
Question 74.
You must list the address of the dwelling where the parties are
living.
Question 75.
The program allows you to designate if either Party owns the
dwelling where they live. This is important to determine if the
other Party is to receive an interest in the property.
Question 76.
You need to list the address of the dwelling where the parties are
living.
Question 77.
Where the property is owned by one of the parties, the other
will often contribute to the payments. It is therefore important
to specify the extent of interest, if any, which that person will
receive in the property. Note the following questions which allow
great flexibility in specifying the interest that the Party who
doesn't own the dwelling will receive.
Question 78.
Here, the program allows you to specify that monies spent on the
property are not to be considered a gift. Rather, the person
contributing the money is to be entitled to an interest in the
dwelling. Generally, this means that the non-owner contributing to
the property will be entitled to the benefit of any appreciation or
increase in the value of the property to the extent of his or her
contribution. The next question allows the non-owner to get his or
her contribution back but not to get any ownership interest in the
property.
Question 79.
The program allows you to specify that monies spent on the property
are not to be considered a gift. Rather, the person contributing
the money is to be entitled to an interest in the dwelling. Here,
you can specify that the non-owner of the property shall be
entitled to a return of whatever he or she contributed to the
property but not to any ownership interest therein.
Question 80.
Although this Agreement will not be legal if it is entered in
contemplation of divorce, it is often a good idea to designate an
appraiser or arbitrator to help divide up the property belonging to
the parties in that event. Designating a person now is often
easier than waiting until the parties are no longer getting along.
Question 81.
The program allows you to designate the appraiser now or later.
Now is often a good idea since if there's a problem later, you may
not be able to agree on who to designate.
Question 82.
If you have chosen to name an appraiser at this time, then please
list his or her complete name.
Question 83.
You should also name an alternate person if the person you have
named to be the appraiser can't or won't be able to do it.
Question 84.
It is often a good idea to use this document to specify what is to
be transferred at death, and to have a valid will. A Postnuptial
Agreement will often take precedence over a will when the two
documents conflict concerning a surviving spouse. This is because
the Postnuptial Agreement (when signed by both parties) is
generally considered a contract between the parties and is
therefore binding on the parties until rescinded by both of
them. A will on the other hand is not binding on the author: it
can be changed at any time without the consent of the spouse.
Although there are some exceptions to this rule it is a good idea
to have a valid will even when you have a Postnuptial Agreement.
Question 85.
Here, you are given the opportunity to have all of the estate left
to the other party at death. If there is anything that one party
will not get from the other when the other dies, then you should
answer "no" to this question.
Question 86.
This clause should only be invoked where both parties have
valid wills. Waiving any interest in the estate of a spouse is
rarely upheld unless there is a signed Prenuptial or other
Agreement to that effect and where there is a will that
specifically names the spouse.
Question 87.
If part or all of the estate of the First Party is to go the Second
Party than this question should be answered "yes".
Question 88.
Here, you are given the opportunity to list those things that First
Party is leaving to Second Party. You can use designations such as
"all" or "all but my dog...", etc.
89
Question 89.
If part or all of the estate of the Second Party is to go the First
Party than this question should be answered "yes".
90
Question 90.
Here, you are given the opportunity to list those things that
Second Party is leaving to First Party. You can use designations
such as "all" or "all but my dog...", etc.
91
Question 91.
It is important to designate where the document will be signed.
92
Question 92.
It is important to specify the State or Territory that you
reside in when signing legal documents.
93
Question 93.
This allows you to have a notary block for your document. This is
often a good idea since it will allow for the recording of the
document at a later time. Often this is necessary where real
property is involved.
94
Question 94.
It is important to specify where you will be executing your
document.
95
Question 95.
Please identify the County or Parish.
96
Question 96.
Witnesses are often a good idea. They tend to add veracity to an
agreement, and even if you are having the document notarized, it is
often helpful to have witnesses as well, particularly where the
Agreement affects some rights that either Party may have in the
estate of the other.
Further, witnesses are generally required in some states: notably
Arizona, Delaware, Georgia, Minnesota and South Carolina. For a
further explanation of executing your agreement please see the
section in the manual on "Executing (signing) the Documents."
97
Question 97.
The program will now create a Postnuptial Agreement for you.
