Saving Money on Prenups

You can always draft a prenup all by yourself and then take it to your lawyers. Getting a prenup can cost you half the cost of your engagement ring. There are several websites today that offer do-it-yourself forms. Each spouse needs a different lawyer, as having a similar lawyer can create some conflicts that could make your prenup invalid.

While some websites offer do-it-yourself forms, Raso warns that those are almost tossed out by courts because of various legal requirements that need to be met. To create a prenup, each spouse needs his and her own lawyer; adds Raso, because having the same lawyer would create an ethical conflict that would invalidate the prenup.

Prenups are like life insurance policies, no one likes pondering regarding either worst-case scenario, but having plans in place can relieve the stress of a painful life event.
