Click to register: Marital agreements—both in pre- and post-nuptial forms—have lost their stigma and are frequently used as estate planning tools. But they are not simple documents to plan or draft or to integrate with other estate documents. Marital agreements involve complicated issues surrounding retirement account assets—IRAs, 401(k)s, and other qualified plans—life insurance policies, personal residences, the allocation of debts, and the rights of former spouses and children from prior marriages. In addition, if proper disclosures are not made, the agreements are subject to challenge by one of the parties or by third parties. There are many planning traps in marital agreements. This program provides you with a practical guide to major estate and trust issues in planning and drafting pre- and post-nuptial agreements, including retirement assets, life insurance policies, personal residences, debts and expenses, and more.
