Pre-Nuptial & Post-Nuptial Agreements
No one expects a marriage to end, but a clear agreement offers peace of mind and helps avoid future conflict
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are forward-thinking arrangements designed to protect your relationship and minimise future uncertainty. Far from being a sign of mistrust, they are most effective when made in a spirit of cooperation, when both parties are aligned in their goals and committed to a shared future. Entering into an agreement before marriage, and ideally before any tension arises, allows each party to clearly express their intentions and provides a framework for resolving issues should the relationship unfortunately break down.
Nuptial agreements come in two forms:
- Pre-nuptial agreements, created before marriage
Post-nuptial agreements, entered into after marriage
What Do They Achieve?
These agreements outline how finances and assets will be managed, from protecting premarital property and family inheritances to addressing more complex matters such as business interests or investments. By setting clear expectations, they promote fairness and ensure that each partner’s contributions and priorities are respected.
