Overview

Putting clear arrangements in place before marriage or partnership

Why get a prenuptial agreement

Prenuptial agreements help couples agree how assets would be treated if a relationship ends. Many see this as a practical step, rather than a lack of commitment. It is also a way of protecting the welfare of any children if you and your partner separate.

Always get expert legal advice

Prenuptial agreements are complex legal documents and should be prepared by a specialist family law solicitor. For an agreement that will stand up in court, both partners should get independent legal advice, there should be full disclosure of all assets and circumstances, and the agreement should be fair to both parties, leaving no one in financial need.

Ensuring there is no pressure around the agreement

There should be no undue influence to enter into the agreement. This is often considered to be time pressure, so it’s good practice to complete the agreement at least one month before the wedding.

Protecting assets and children

They can be particularly helpful where one or both partners have existing property, savings or children from a previous relationship. We ensure agreements meet legal standards, including fairness, full disclosure and independent advice for both parties. 

Tees have an excellent reputation locally for providing commercially minded and sensible advice.
