Pre/Post Nuptial Agreements

When you are planning your future life with your partner, the last thing on your mind is what would happen should the relationship break down.

However, being prepared for just such an event with a Pre-Nuptial Agreement can give you peace of mind that your financial assets are protected for the future, particularly in cases of significant pre-marital or family wealth, or where there are children from a previous relationship.

A Pre or Post Nuptial agreement can be used to ringfence pre-marital assets, family gifts or inheritances; it can be used to ensure that family money stays within the family and is preserved for the next generation and can be used to protect the financial interests of children.

Our specialist team of family lawyers have the expertise to advise you on the best way to protect your assets and reduce uncertainty in the future should the relationship end. We also work with our Trusts team to review the terms of Trusts and whether they may be affected on divorce.

When properly drafted, Pre-Nuptial Agreements can be enforceable, and the court will often take them into account when deciding on how to divide assets.
