What is a prenup or post-nuptial agreement?
Couples sign prenuptial (meaning before marriage) and post-nuptial agreements (signed after marriage) to outline their decision to split high net worth assets. After separation, the contract determines how mutual funds, financial assets, and private real estate properties will be divided. Making these decisions in a calm and composed state of mind minimises risks observed after a divorce. When establishing these agreements, our role is to ensure that they comply with national law.
Once the agreement is in place, the family court may refer to this document during legal proceedings. By doing so, they aim to ensure that the settlement receives a fair trial with no biases.

Having encountered many of these types of cases, our legal team will tailor our strategies to align with your individual needs and circumstances. Throughout the process, we’ll prioritise your interests and demonstrate how we respect client confidentiality, developing efficient financial plans that incorporate the law and your decisions. In our experience, nuptial agreements are advantageous for couples interested in:
• Protecting significant wealth owned independently (or as a couple)
• Ensuring children from the previous and current relationship receive full financial security after the split
• Protecting private businesses, offshore accounts, and high net worth assets
