West Virginia Postnuptial Agreement: What Is It?

A West Virginia Postnuptial Agreement is a document produced by two spouses during the time that they are married. The agreement will act is a legal guarantee and will provide a detailed explanation of what will happen to a property (who will inherit it or how it will be shared) in the event that a spouse passes away or requests a divorce.

If this were to happen, the matter would be referred to court after which a case will be opened. A judge will examine all evidence presented to them and then they are responsible for making a decision about the validity of the agreement and its implementation. A judge will agree to implement the agreement as long as it follows all laws:

• There are no specific, outlined laws concerning the signing requirements;
• If the court rules that there has been foul play by one of the parties and that the agreement was made illegitimately, it will be voided;
• If there has no specificity in the conditions and the document reads ambiguously, the document will not be implemented by the judge.
