Pre and Post Nuptial Agreements
Agreements made prior to a marriage, “pre nups”, or during a marriage, “post nups”, are becoming increasingly popular, particularly amongst older couples or those marrying for a second time.
However, despite the extensive news coverage given to these agreements, many people are still unclear about their legal standing and what exactly they can achieve.
Whilst currently not technically binding on a court, as long as certain safeguards are met, then these nuptial agreements are increasingly being recognised and often upheld by courts. It is therefore essential that anyone considering entering into such an agreement, should obtain specialist legal advice before doing so. We have expertise in drafting agreements and in advising on and negotiating their content and in advising on their likely effect in the event of a future marriage breakdown.
