[WSBAPT] Prenuptial Agreement - Separate Counsel Requirement

[Neli Espe, J.D. - Olympic Legal]

Dear Listmates,

I have always drafted Prenuptial Agreements representing one party to the pending marriage with the other party being represented by his/her own counsel.

Now, I have a couple who have lived together for many years and the PNC insists that the other party does not want to engage independent counsel.

I cannot find the authority for this requirement. Every way you look at it, ethically and legally (potential challenge), this is the best approach, but is there authority requiring it?

Thanks,

Neli
