PRE-NUPTIAL AGREEMENTS

When you are planning your future together, it can be difficult to consider what happens if it all goes wrong, but pre-nuptial agreements are designed to safeguard your future.

A pre-nuptial agreement is a document that outlines how a couple believes that assets and property should be split in the case of marital breakdown. If properly drafted pre-nuptial agreements can be enforceable and courts do take them into account when splitting assets. Many couples choose to draw up a pre-nuptial agreement if one partner has or will inherit significantly more assets than the other, owns a business or to safeguard the financial interests of children.
