Prenuptial Agreements
Protecting your future with a prenuptial agreement
Marriage or civil partnership is more than a celebration of your love and commitment – it’s a significant legal and financial union.
So before you get married you might want to think about drawing up a prenuptial agreement, or ‘prenup’, as a proactive step that allows you and your future spouse to define your financial rights and responsibilities.

What is a prenuptial agreement?
A prenuptial agreement is a contract created by two people before entering a marriage or civil partnership. It outlines how assets and debts will be divided should you separate.

Why have a prenuptial agreement?
There are many benefits to having a prenuptial agreement. They will help reduce the risk of conflict and future stress by setting out your finances clearly from the outset.
If you own a business, a prenup can protect it from being divided in a divorce. You might want to ensure family heirlooms or inherited wealth remain with your side of the family.
If this is a second marriage for you or your partner, or perhaps both of you, a prenuptial agreement will protect your assets for any children you already have.
