Pre-Nuptial and Post-Nuptial Agreements

The topic of a pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement may not initially seem the most romantic or necessary, but it is an important conversation to have as you plan or continue to build your future together.

People enter into these agreements for all sorts of reasons. It may be to protect a specific asset, such as a family business or a home owned before marriage. For those entering second or third marriages, a pre-nuptial agreement can be a way to protect assets for their children from a previous marriage or to minimise the risk of dividing assets again in the event of a separation. These agreements can be especially useful in safeguarding family assets that the family wishes to pass down to future generations without any interference from divorce settlements.

A pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement is not a sign of distrust or an expectation of divorce, but rather a practical consideration – a bit like an insurance policy. It shows that you’re both committed to being responsible and transparent in your financial matters. It can also provide a roadmap for how you will navigate difficult situations in the future.

We’ll work with you to create a pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement that reflects your vision for the future so you can move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
