We can create a prenuptial agreement to reflect your intentions.

Why have a prenuptial  agreement?

A recent Supreme Court test case found that a prenuptial agreement is capable of being legally enforceable.  This ruling that such contracts are capable of being enforced has altered the landscape of divorce settlements.

In the UK a prenuptial agreement might not be enforceable if one of the parties to the marriage did not receive proper independent legal advice before entering into the prenuptial agreement.  This is likely if a person did not get independent legal advice has been prejudiced, or will be prejudiced, by the existence of the prenuptial agreement.

For those intending to marry, we can give you advice on how a pre-marital agreement (also known as a ‘pre-nuptial’ agreement) may protect you from financial loss in the unlikely event of your marriage not lasting.

If you come to a marriage with your own assets, it usually makes common sense to take out a pre-marital agreement. Those approaching a second marriage may have a particular need to enter a pre-marital agreement.

Our charges for drafting a pre-marital agreement are modest in relation to the value of most assets protected by such agreements.
