Indiana Prenuptial Agreements - Rounding Up Online Forms

A bit long and one that I would probably have split into two posts for a bit more of an in-depth review. Instead, I have few comments strewn amongst the excerpts.

Indiana Prenuptial (Premarital) Agreement - FindLegalForms.com
A prenuptial agreement is a private agreement between two parties who are intending to marry that sets forth the distribution of assets (and debts) that will occur in the event of the parties’ divorce or death.

Among others, this form includes the following key provisions:

* Separate Property: Identifies the property that is solely that of the individual spouse
* Shared Property: Identifies the property that will be shared between the spouses
* Determination of Type of Property: Declares how other property will be divided amongst the spouses
* Alimony, Support, and Maintenance: Clarifies payments that will be made should the marriage end
* Wills: Describes the wills of the spouses and what provisions will be included
* Additional Clauses: Provides room for the spouses to make additional provisions

This attorney-prepared packet contains:
1. Prenuptial Agreement Information
2. Prenuptial Agreement
That so good but do take a look at their money back guarantee:
Your purchases from FindLegalForms.com are always risk-free. If you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason at all, contact us within 60 days of your purchase and we will refund 100% of your money back.
When will you find out if the prenuptial agreement is going to make you truly unhappy? When the court refuses to uphold it. I doubt that will occur within 60 days of purchase. If 60 days doe snot seem like much time for an evaluation, then consider this guarantee:

Satisfaction Guarantee - USLegalForms.com
If you order a form from U.S. Legal Forms, Inc. and for any reason are not satisfied, simply return the form to us within 24 hours from the time of your order and receive a full refund of the purchase price. If the form was mailed, simply return it within 4 days of receipt of the form and you will receive a full refund, less printing costs. No Hassles!!!!
I think Nupp Legal thought it best to pay a lawyer for this language about its prenuptial agreement forms:

Which brings me to a question: why are you considering using these forms without an attorney? is it because of the dollars only or is it that you do not realize what a lawyer brings to the table?

About two weeks ago, I had to take the family cars into the shop. It is possible that I could have done most of the work myself but I knew I needed someone who knew more than to turn wrenches. Relying solely on online forms is equating legal work to turning wrenches. The mechanic gives a value beyond just turning wrenches and so do we lawyers.
