While no one enters a marriage expecting it to end, a nuptial agreement provides clarity, transparency, and peace of mind for both parties.
Book a consultationA Prenuptial Agreement (often referred to as a Prenup) is a contract between 2 people before they get married or enter into a civil partnership. More and more couples are incorporating them them into their wedding plans to boost their financial security before walking down the aisle.
Pre-nups and post-nups enables couples to “choose their own rules” about their finances during and at the end of their relationship.
Moreover, it sets out any property, debts, income or other assets that each party is bringing into their marriage and states in writing what the parties agree should happen until and when their marriage or civil union eventually ends by death or divorce.
A Prenup can specifically identify who will be responsible for the property and finances of each partner during the marriage in addition to “who will get what” following a divorce.
It can be simple or complex but, generally speaking, it is designed to help couples like you protect at the very least assets owned before the marriage, expected inheritance, trust funds and assets they may want to leave children from a previous marriage.

Some couples are very happy to enter into a contract that simply concludes that there should be an equal split. Many couples also agree to ring-fence some or all of the assets that they bring into the relationship or expect to acquire.
0203 876 6625A post-nuptial agreement is entered into after marriage and is treated similarly to a prenup, provided it meets the same legal criteria.
Post-nuptial agreements are often used where:
If you are considering a pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement, we offer a confidential, no-obligation initial consultation to discuss your circumstances and options.
0203 876 6625The only difference is timing. A prenup is signed before marriage; a post-nup is signed after. Courts treat both similarly if they meet the required legal criteria.
A prenup, like life and health insurance, provides you with an invaluable resource when life doesn’t go according to plan. Bearing in mind that almost 50% of marriages result in divorce, prenups are a sensible and realistic way of starting a marriage.
Couples who enter into prenups have a shared spirit of openness and honesty and gain a sense of security from the frank discussions and transparent process.
There is no doubt that some people will regard a prenup to be rather unromantic and pessimistic and indeed it might be an awkward topic for some couples.
Although Prenups hold tremendous weight when they are prepared correctly, no one can give you a 100% guarantee that they will be watertight in years or decades ahead. However, there is no doubt that the legal climate is shifting in favour of upholding those Agreements that have been carefully drafted by (and advice has been followed from) specialist lawyers like ourselves.
Prenuptial agreements are not strictly binding under statute law, but since the landmark case of Radmacher v Granatino (2010), courts give them significant weight if they meet certain criteria and are considered fair.
Courts are more likely to uphold a prenup where:
Yes. Independent legal advice for each party is essential. Without it, a court is unlikely to give significant weight to the agreement.
Ideally, at least 28 days before the wedding or civil partnership. Agreements signed too close to the ceremony may be challenged on the grounds of pressure or duress.
Yes. A prenup can be reviewed or amended during the marriage to reflect changes in circumstances, provided both parties agree and the updated document is properly executed.
Fees typically start from £1,500 plus VAT and increase depending on complexity. Fixed fees may be available for simpler asset structures following an initial consultation.
Yes. Prenups are commonly used to ring-fence inheritances, pensions, trust assets, and business interests, provided the agreement remains fair over time.
Infidelity clauses can be included, but their enforceability under UK law is untested and uncertain—particularly since the introduction of no-fault divorce. They may encourage discussion but should not be relied upon as determinative.
No. If properly drafted and entered into, a prenuptial agreement can still be upheld after death and does not automatically get overridden by a will.
