Post nuptial agreement

A post nuptial agreement can protect your family and finances if you get divorced or dissolve your civil partnership.

Post nuptial agreement lawyers: Expert legal advice

A post nuptial agreement sets out how assets are to be split if the couple divorce. Post nuptial agreements protect you, and your family, if your marriage or civil partnership ends.

They’re designed to help people split finances and property fairly and, if you have children, ensure their welfare is put first. They are particularly useful if you’ve previously separated from your partner, and want to protect your assets if you get divorced.

The family team is very experienced, client focused and able to offer specialist advice in all areas of family law. It approaches cases pragmatically and considers all aspects of non court dispute resolution as a method to assist its clients to find resolution to issues relating to finance and child arrangements.

Are post nuptial agreements legally enforceable? 

Yes – a family law solicitor can help you create a legally valid agreement. A properly-written post nuptial agreement may be upheld by the Court, if it meets the Court’s requirements. The agreement should be fair, accounting for the needs of both partners and any children from the relationship. An unfair post nuptial agreement, which may leave one partner in financial need, should not be upheld by the Court.

Post nuptial agreements are complex legal documents, and it is best to take advice from an expert family law solicitor. A solicitor will prepare a legally valid document that provides for both partners fairly and considers the needs of any children you have.

I have been told my property has development potential. What do I do?

If you’ve been contacted by a developer or a land promoter regarding a potential development to your property, you may wish to consider granting an option agreement or a promotion agreement. An option agreement is made between the landowner and the developer, where it is intended that the developer will apply for planning permission and requires an option to buy the property. A land promotion agreement is used where a developer agrees to apply for planning permission and will market the property for sale on the open market once planning permission has been obtained. This is usually in return for a proportion of the net sale proceeds. The law on this is very complex and you will need specialist advice.
