Many of those we talk to ask if they can prepare their own prenup in the hope of saving money or making the process easier for themselves. No, marriage contracts can only be concluded before the marriage. However, you can still enter into an additional contract if both parties are willing to do so. For a first interview on a marriage contract, call our family lawyers at Woolley & Co on 0800 321 3832 or fill out our online form. Marriage contracts, sometimes called pre-marital agreements, set out in writing what will happen to each person`s wealth and finances in the event of the breakdown of the marriage. This gives you both the opportunity to agree in advance on what`s right – instead of one of you losing much of your fortune in the event of a divorce. And as soon as it`s in place, you can continue to plan and enjoy your wedding anniversary and your life together as a happy married couple. A marriage contract, commonly known as “Prenup,” is a legal contract made before marriage, which defines what happens in the event of divorce with things like finance and property. A signatory to a marriage contract should also have received legal advice to ensure that they know what they are doing. Our marriage contracts contain a statement of legal advice for both parties. While marriage contracts may seem unromying, they are probably the best way to ensure that if your marriage ends, there will be as little conflict as possible for property and money. People who are considering a marriage contract often have a different nationality and/or live abroad. In this case, we access our contacts with other countries so that our clients receive good advice from foreign lawyers.
Based on the answers to the above questions, we can give you advice on the impact your existing prenup could have on your separation.
