Q: Can my spouse sign an agreement that I will get the entire house and any value there-in, in the event of a separation?
We aren't sure if we are going to get divorced, but we want to make sure each other feel safe in this time of unknowns.
A: You or both of you certainly can do that----but before doing so, I would contact a famliy law attorney or 2 and consult with them---a general consult---and learn of your rights if you do get divorced and what can or should be done. Some family law attorneys will charge you for an initial consult and others will not so please feel free to contact multiple family law lawyers and ask about consultation charges. Good luck.
