Pre-Nuptial Agreements

We can advise you on pre-nuptial agreements that allow engaged couples to set out their financial plans if the marriage was to break down in the future and to protect the wealth they are bringing into the marriage.

Although still not binding on divorcing couples, they are increasingly upheld as binding on the parties by the courts provided certain conditions are met and can prevent any costly disagreements about pre-marital wealth and preserving assets for the party who acquired it before the marriage. A pre-nuptial agreement is not suitable for everyone and, usually, it is the last thing an engaged couple will want to think about, but if someone is coming to the marriage with more wealth than their future spouse and they want to protect it should the relationship end then it is sensible to take advice first about it.
