Married couples may also elect to enter into agreement designating separate and joint property. Partition and Exchange agreements allow couples who are already married, to elect whether they want to keep certain property separate or joint, in the event of divorce. Without these types of agreements, couples who divorce later on will be subject to the traditional community property rules. Having a partition and exchange agreement ahead of time allows you to make your own decisions on how you want your property allocated. Having a choice matters, contact us today for a free consultation.
