What is a prenup?

A prenuptial agreement, also known as a premarital agreement or a “prenup,” is a legal contract entered into by a couple before they get married. The purpose is to specify how a couple’s assets will be divided in the event of a divorce or the death of one spouse. It can also address issues related to spousal support, the ownership and division of property, and the sharing of pensions.

Surely, Prenups are only for celebrities and the super-rich?

Prenups are useful for any couple who wants to clarify their financial arrangements before getting married. They are also useful for couples who want to protect their financial interests in the event of a divorce or the death of a spouse. They provide clarity for both of you on how your assets will be shared and your children protected *if* the worst happens.

Isn’t it tempting fate, though?

None of us get married expecting it to go wrong… But none of us can predict the future either. This a why a prenup can be a good idea, even if you think you won’t need one. Having this crucial conversation first can help couples start their life together on stronger foundations. Aaron and Partners Solicitors has a specialist team that will guide and support you through the process.
