Marital Agreements
Parties can, by contract, alter their rights provided under the Texas community property laws. These contracts can occur before or during marriage.
Premarital contracts, as the name suggests, occur prior to the marriage of the parties. The agreement can contain provisions for both current and future property and its growth or earnings as well as other terms in the event of divorce or death.
Marital agreements occur during marriage to allocate the parties' respective rights to the property in their estate or coming into the estate.
Our attorneys at Cothrun & Lucido have represented clients in planning and crafting both premarital and marital agreements designed to fit the needs of clients.
