INFO

Once the preserve of the Hollywood elite, pre-nuptial agreements are becoming increasingly common here in the UK, with one in five marriages now involving a ‘prenup’.

Prenups are not just for the super wealthy. You may have business assets you wish to protect, family inheritance or property accrued prior to the relationship. This may also be your second marriage and you wish to avoid a repeat of acrimonious financial proceedings. They can cover everything from multimillion-pound assets to who gets the family cat.

Modern couples now have a heightened awareness of the financial risks of marriage and we at McCabe and Co solicitors think that it’s a good thing couples are having open conversations about money matters before tying the knot.

We are able to draft pre-nuptial agreements for a fixed fee or we can advise and review any agreement drafted by your fiancé’s solicitors, to ensure that you are not disadvantaged.

Prenups must be signed at least 28 days prior to marriage, so it is recommended that you seek early legal advice. The agreement must be drafted by a family lawyer, with both parties receiving independent legal advice.

Prenups may seem unromantically pragmatic. But it is better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it!

So contact us today for a free, no obligation chat, to discuss your options and ensure that you are financially protected.

In a landmark Supreme Court case in 2010 of Radmacher v Granatino, it was determined that pre-nuptial agreements should be upheld by the English court if the following criteria are met:

  1. Both parties have had independent legal advice;
  2. Both parties have had disclosure of the other’s financial position (or understood broadly what they had) so they understood the consequences and implications of the agreement; and
  3. The pre-nuptial agreement does not give rise to an unfair outcome for either party.
