Consult prenuptial agreement solicitors

Prenuptial agreements are complex legal documents and should be prepared by specialist family law solicitor. At Tees our experts will: 

  • identify your key assets
  • advise on your legal responsibilities
  • draft a prenuptial agreement that will stand up in court.

To give a prenuptial agreement the best chance of being followed by a court, those entering into the agreement should following the following principles:

  • Both parties should receive independent legal advice
  • There should be full and frank disclosure in relation to all circumstances but particularly finances
  • There should be no undue influence to enter into the agreement – often this is considered to be time pressure and therefore completing the agreement at least a month before the wedding is considered good practice
  • The agreement should be fair in the circumstances.

If both partners enter into the agreement with a full appreciation of the implications, the Court should uphold it (unless it would be unfair to do so). Fairness is key if the agreement is to hold up in court.
