Our experienced lawyers can help you to draft a prenuptial agreement to assist in protecting your assets.

Sadly, we live in a society where a high proportion of marriages end in divorce and it is becomingly increasingly advisable to enter into a prenuptial (PNA) agreement, particularly if there is a significant imbalance in assets between you and your partner. A prenuptial agreement sets out the basis upon which you intend your assets to be divided should your marriage break down irretrievably. Similar agreements are available for those wishing to enter into Civil Partnerships.

The courts attitude towards prenuptial agreements is changing. Recent case law has confirmed that such agreements will be influential when determining the distribution of assets and income upon divorce. For a court to give weight to a prenuptial agreement it is essential that it is properly drawn up.

It is particularly advisable for those entering into second marriages and/or where there are children, to seek advice on a prenuptial agreement to protect family assets and/or future generations.

We work closely with our Private Client and Conveyancing departments to ensure suitable complementary documents are drawn such as Wills and Declarations of Trust with appropriate specialist tax planning advice.
