Frequently asked questions – Prenuptial Agreements
Are prenuptial agreements legally binding in the UK?
While prenuptial agreements are not automatically legally binding in England and Wales, courts increasingly give them significant weight, especially if the agreement was entered into freely by both parties, with full financial disclosure and legal advice, and at least 28 days before the wedding. Provided the terms are fair, a court is likely to uphold the agreement in the event of a divorce.
What can a prenuptial agreement cover?
A prenuptial agreement can cover a wide range of financial matters, including division of property, inheritance rights, business interests, savings, debts, pensions, and spousal maintenance. It can also account for anticipated changes such as children or future inheritances, provided the clauses are drafted clearly and fairly.
When should I start preparing a prenuptial agreement?
It is recommended to begin discussions with a solicitor at least 6 months before the wedding. This allows adequate time for negotiation, full financial disclosure, independent legal advice, and a cooling-off period, which are all important factors in ensuring that the agreement is upheld by the courts.
Can a prenuptial agreement be changed or updated?
Yes, a prenuptial agreement can be reviewed and revised at any time before or after the marriage, with mutual consent. Many couples choose to update their agreement following significant life changes, such as the birth of children, changes in employment or wealth, or a move to another jurisdiction.
Do both parties need separate solicitors?
Yes, for a prenuptial agreement to carry weight in court, both parties should receive independent legal advice from different solicitors. This helps demonstrate that each party fully understood the terms and entered into the agreement voluntarily.
