Agreements and Wealth Protection

Acordos pré-nupciais e pós-nupciais

Os acordos pré-nupciais são acordos que visam regulamentar a repartição dos bens em caso de dissolução do casamento ou da união civil. Podem ser celebrados antes ou depois de duas pessoas se casarem ou celebrarem uma união civil.

Whilst nuptial agreements are gaining momentum and ‘weight’ within the courts, they are not binding in England and Wales and the court retains its discretion to divide the parties’ assets in accordance with what is ‘fair’. However, where an agreement has been suitably prepared and both parties have received legal advice upon the terms of the agreement, this can form an overriding factor for the court to consider when deciding what is ‘fair’ when dividing the assets of a marriage upon its conclusion.

If you are considering marriage and wish to enter into a nuptial agreement, our family team can assist by advising and preparing an agreement that not only complies with the requirements for nuptial agreements passed down by the courts but vontade also provide you with the security, as far as the law allows, to meet your expectations and wishes on the distribution of finances if the marriage or civil partnership were to break down.
