Prenuptial agreements are increasingly popular for couples seeking to protect their assets before marriage. At Geraldine Watson Family Law, we help clients across England create these agreements with clarity and expertise. Here’s why prenuptial agreements matter and how they work.
What Is a Prenuptial Agreement?
A prenuptial agreement is a legal contract signed before marriage, outlining how assets, debts, and finances will be divided if the marriage ends. While not legally binding in England, courts give them significant weight if properly drafted.
Why You Need a Prenuptial Agreement
- Asset Protection: Safeguard pre-marital wealth, property, or inheritances.
- Clarity: Reduce disputes by setting expectations.
- Financial Security: Ensure fair outcomes, especially for complex finances.
The Process
- Consultation: Discuss your assets and goals with our solicitors.
- Drafting: We create a clear, fair agreement.
- Independent Advice: Both parties seek separate legal advice.
- Signing: Sign well before the wedding to ensure validity.
Legal Considerations
For courts to uphold a prenup, it must:
- Be voluntary, with no coercion.
- Include full financial disclosure.
- Be fair and meet both parties’ needs.
Benefits of a Prenup
- Peace of Mind: Plan for the future with confidence.
- Cost Savings: Avoid lengthy divorce disputes.
- Tailored Solutions: Reflect your unique circumstances.
