Pre-Nuptial Agreements

“In the wake of the McCartney and Miller headline cases, protection of your pre-marital assets has never been more important.” Debra Emery, Partner and Head of Family

If you are planning to marry or enter into a civil partnership, you may want to ring-fence or protect some of your assets.

Pre-nuptial agreements are particularly useful if you are entering into a second marriage or partnership, or if there are children involved. Although not considered legally binding, they provide a clear record of your intentions and your partner’s agreement to them. Increasingly, courts are taking them into account and upholding their provisions

As further protection, it is always important to ensure your Will is reviewed in light of your changing personal circumstances. We can draft a fresh Will to ensure your wishes are provided for with respect to your forthcoming marriage.

"I was extremely pleased with the service provided. Divorce is an unpleasant, often traumatic, experience and it is most reassuring to be handled so professionally, yet with sensitivity"
