Property Agreements.

In Washington State, property agreements play a crucial role in family law because these documents define how assets and debts are divided between spouses. As a community property state, Washington generally requires all property acquired during the marriage—except for gifts or inheritances—be divided equitably upon divorce.

Some couples seek these agreements in anticipation of a remarriage. Others recognize the necessity of an agreement after the marriage has taken place. Some spouses seek an agreement ahead of a dissolution in anticipation of a smooth transition. These agreements are binding legal documents with their own special requirements. The team at Marggraf Law understands these requirements and clients may depend on us to guide them through the process of finalizing an agreement drafted with their best interest as the first priority.
