[WSBARP] unmarried couple - property agreement?

Tue May 12 14:56:18 PDT 2020

Yes- I always advise  that the other person gets seperate counsel._I 
never do dual representation.in these matters._ If the non represented 
party chooses not to  seek legal counsel, I say so clearly in the 
agreement; that I am representing party x only, and party y has had the 
opportunity to seek independent legal counsel and has waived this.
