Pre-Nuptial And Post-Nuptial Agreements In Barry, The Vale Of Glamorgan And Cardiff, South Wales

If you’re setting up home with a partner, getting married, or you’ve just been married, it’s easy to get carried away with romance!

However, this is the perfect time to consider a formal legal agreement to give you both clarity as you embark on your new life.

Having a pre-nuptial agreement, post-nuptial agreement, or a living together agreement isn’t unromantic. It can be a good way of looking after your husband, wife, or partner.

Pre-Nuptial And Post-Nuptial Agreements Solicitor Cardiff and Barry

Signing Pre-Nuptial And Post-Nuptial Agreements.

What Is A Pre-Nuptial Agreement?

While it’s not binding upon a court, the courts are starting to recognise the importance of these agreements when deciding finances during separation, divorce, or dissolution. They do give weight to the contents, whether the agreement is fair, or whether it favours one person over the other.

These agreements should be signed at least 21 days before a marriage or civil partnership.

Both parties should get independent advice.

What Is A Post-Nuptial Agreement?

This is a formal written agreement, like a pre-nuptial agreement, but made following a marriage or civil partnership.

It sets out how the couple’s assets and property would be split in the event of a divorce, dissolution or separation.

What Is A Living Together Agreement?

This document outlines your financial arrangements while you live together.

The ownership of current and future assets is set out, as is how you manage your everyday expenses.

The agreement also looks at what would happen on the death of one of the partners.

This should be a ‘living’ document which is reviewed regularly to ensure it remains valid. This is especially important if you have children after the agreement is drawn up.

Consider preparing a formal declaration of trust over the purchase of a joint property. This will outline what percentage of the property each partner owns.
