Why state law matters for your prenup
Prenuptial agreement requirements differ significantly by state. Some states require notarization, others require two witnesses, and a handful have mandatory waiting periods. Community property states (California, Texas, Arizona, and others) have different default rules than equitable distribution states. Clause generates state-specific language and automatically handles the signing requirements for your jurisdiction.
