Understanding the different types of agreements

A Prenuptial Agreement is designed for couples entering a marriage or civil partnership. Its main purpose is to record how the couple would divide assets should the relationship break down, listing the assets that one or both partners own prior to the marriage in order to protect them in the event of divorce. The traditional rule was that Prenuptial Agreements were not enforceable in England and Wales however, in recent years, the courts have been increasingly prepared to take them into account in proceedings.

 

A Postnuptial Agreement is similar but is made after a couple has been married or entered a civil partnership. Our nuptial law specialists can provide honest, tailored advice on the right agreements to suit your circumstances. Working with you and your partner, Brockbanks Solicitors will provide honest advice and guidance to protect your future interests.
