That's very antiquated language. There is no legal necessity for such contorted phrasing. I don't believe that was drafted by a CA lawyer (or at least one under age ninety).
The best language is simple, clear and understandable to all readers.
Prior to signature, it is common to note the location of the execution of the agreement and the date (e.g. 'Executed at Los Angeles, California, on September 22, 2008').
Initial every page & sign the last page with a notary's endorsement.
I don't recommend a do-it-yourself [marital] separation/settlement agreement.
An attorney shouldn't charge much to draft one suited to your needs.
You really have to understand community property law and know the extent of the cp assets. If you miss a retirement plan, it may have disastrous results thirty years later.
If you must do this pro per, check out some tried and true books from the more respected CA pro-per publishers. They have boiler-plate agreements included, but also provide valuable info in the book (for about 25. or read at the public library).
