SUMMARY DISSOLUTION PROPERTY AGREEMENT TEMPLATE FAQ
What is a summary dissolution property agreement?
A Summary Dissolution Property Agreement is a written agreement between spouses that divides property and debts in a simplified (summary) divorce process, where permitted. It typically confirms that both spouses agree on who keeps what and that neither will make additional claims later (subject to local law).
Is this the same as a marital settlement agreement (MSA)?
It’s similar but often simpler and focused on property/debt division for a streamlined process. Some courts require a standard MSA format or specific local forms. This template can be adapted to match court requirements.
What should be included?
Include: a list of assets, a list of debts, who keeps/pays each item, deadlines for transfers, tax refund allocation, and mutual releases. This template also includes a disclosure statement and “each party keeps what’s in their possession” option.
Do you need to list everything?
Usually yes, especially in a court process. Hidden assets can cause problems later. This template includes a “full disclosure” statement and a place to attach schedules.
What about retirement accounts?
Some retirement accounts require special orders (like QDROs). If retirement is included, this agreement should state the intent and reference any required separate documents. This template includes a retirement section.
