What is a Prenuptial Agreement?

A prenuptial agreement is a legally binding agreement between spouses or spouses-to-be that regulates how their property is to be distributed in the event of a possible division of property. By drawing up a prenuptial agreement, couples can decide that certain property should be separate and thus exempt from the joint property that is otherwise divided equally in the event of divorce or death. This can include real estate, bank accounts, shares, pension savings and other valuables.

Why is a Prenuptial Agreement Needed?

Protect Property : To ensure that certain property, such as a business, inheritance or personal assets, remains separate property and is not shared in a property division.

Entrepreneurs : For self-employed people, it is important to protect the company's assets from being divided in a divorce. Without a prenuptial agreement, the value of the business can be divided equally between the parties, which can have serious financial consequences.

Different Financial Conditions : If couples have different financial conditions, a prenuptial agreement can help create fairness and clarity in financial matters.

Future Inheritance and Gifts : In order to protect future inheritance or gifts that you want to remain private property, you can specify this in the prenuptial agreement.
