Getting married is an exciting time but often couples do not consider how their legal responsibilities to each other will affect them when they get married. Our specialist Pre-Nuptial Agreement lawyers are highly experienced and are on hand to advise and assist on protecting your assets before getting married.
Also known as a ‘Prenup’, this type of agreement has become increasingly popular in recent years.
It is a process and document outlining assets and financial plans before the marriage is commenced. This seeks to help lessen any confliction if the marriage or civil partnership breaks down.
Our experienced prenuptial solicitors provide clear and practical legal advice and assistance to ensure your rights are protected.
Why Do I Need a Prenuptial Agreement?
It establishes ownership of all your belongings (including money, assets and property) and explains how it will be distributed in the event of the breakdown of the marriage.
Prenuptial agreements are seen by some people to be distrustful, however, others maintain that a prenup can avoid time, expense and hostility.
The reasons people want prenuptial advice include:
- Couples who have international connections
- Families wanting to protect inherited wealth
- Individuals marrying wealthy partners
- To avoid uncertainty and arguments over finances if your relationship ends
- To protect yourself from being liable for any debts your partner has
- To ensure you retain control of a business
Are Pre-nuptial Agreements Binding in Law?
Now, more than ever, prenuptial agreements are having weight attached to them and proving influence in court. Prenuptials can be highly persuaive to the Court by settling out clear intentions of what the parties intended for their finances in the event of separation.
For the agreement to be given more support in court, it is good practice to have signed the agreement with enough time before your wedding day, however the minimum is at least 28 days before. Further to this, if the terms of the agreement are reasonable, allows for future changed and if it is accurately drafted by a family lawyer with both parties receiving independent legal advice, the agreement may be given more consideration at court.
