What Is a Prenuptial Agreement?
A prenuptial agreement (or "prenup") is a legally recognised document signed before marriage or a civil partnership. It sets out how assets, property, and finances will be divided if the relationship ends.
While not automatically binding in UK law, prenups are given significant weight by the courts if:
​
-
Both parties received independent legal advice
-
Financial disclosure was made honestly and transparently
-
The agreement was entered into freely and fairly
Why Consider a Prenuptial Agreement?
Creating a prenup is a practical way to avoid financial uncertainty in the future. It can be especially useful when:
​
-
One partner has significantly greater wealth or assets
-
You own a business or have future inheritance to protect
-
There are children from a previous relationship
-
You want to clarify how debts and property will be treated
-
You wish to avoid lengthy disputes if the marriage ends
Understanding Postnuptial Agreements
A postnuptial agreement is similar to a prenup but is made after marriage or civil partnership. It allows couples to agree on financial arrangements and asset division should the relationship later break down.
Postnups are commonly used to:
​
-
Formalise new financial agreements made during marriage
-
Update or replace an existing prenuptial agreement
-
Protect recently acquired assets or gifts
-
Strengthen financial planning after reconciliation
Legal Validity and Court Recognition
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are not automatically binding but are increasingly upheld by courts in England and Wales when:
​
-
The agreement is fair and reasonable
-
Both parties fully understand their rights
-
Independent legal advice is provided on both sides
-
There is full and honest disclosure of finances
-
The agreement does not undermine the interests of any children
What Can Be Included?
Your agreement can be tailored to your personal and financial circumstances. Common inclusions are:
​
-
Ownership and division of property and real estate
-
Treatment of savings, pensions, and inheritance
-
Protection of family businesses
-
Handling of debts and liabilities
-
Spousal maintenance and ongoing support
Note: Child arrangements and child support are governed by separate laws and cannot be overridden by these agreements.
