A valid pre-marital or inheritance contract can contractually eliminate the creation of common ownership by legally distributing the estate between each spouse at the time of acquisition, thus eliminating disputes relating to the distribution of property in the event of divorce. Section 4.006 of the Texas Family Code regulates the applicability of these agreements. A division agreement referred to in paragraph 4.102 shall be in writing and signed by both parties. Even if a dispute over the legality of this agreement arises, you know that the spouse who tries to cancel the pre-marital agreement must prove that the agreement is unenforceable. Section 4.205 also provides that written agreements shall contain a statement which should be published in bold, uppercase or capital letters containing a language of disclosure of a party`s knowledge of the effects of converting ownership into common ownership. A party opposing the agreement must prove its unenforceability, but unlike section 4.006, section 4.205 does not contain any provision on the capacity of scruples as a defense against third-party effectiveness. In addition, a spousal ownership contract can help spouses and their family members avoid controversy by clearly defining the character of the property in advance and delineating each spouse`s priorities before they become problems. This type of agreement can benefit from early residences and other property, set aside future income as separate property, provide for alimony, eliminate alimony and avoid other financial rights, as well as the obligation to repay certain debts, including tax debts. The other type of conjudé agreement is called a conversion agreement in accordance with Section 4.202 of the Texas Family Code.
