Pre & Post Nuptial Agreements Solicitors on The Isle of Wight

If you are getting married or have already entered into marriage, our expert pre-nuptial and postnuptial agreement solicitors on the Isle of Wight can help you protect your interests and finances.

Prenups refer to an agreement that a couple signs before getting married or entering into a civil partnership. The document outlines asset ownership and how assets and property would be divided if the marriage or civil partnership were to end.

Postnuptial agreements serve the same purpose. However, they are entered into after a couple gets married. They are intended for couples who did not enter into a prenup but would still like to gain some protection for their assets.

  • Pre-nuptial and postnuptial agreement legal advice

Amending pre-nuptial and postnuptial agreements

If you have already entered into a pre-nuptial or postnuptial agreement and would like to amend it, we can assist you in doing so.

There are various reasons that you might choose to amend a pre-nuptial or postnuptial agreement, including:

  • If one of the spouses experiences a significant change in their financial circumstances, for example, through inheritance
  • If one of the spouses incurs a significant debt
  • If one of the spouses changes job or is made redundant
  • If one spouse has to give up work or change employment due to serious injury or illness
  • Upon the birth or adoption of a child

It is important to note that a pre-nuptial or postnuptial agreement can only be amended if both parties agree on the amendments. Where the parties cannot agree, it may be necessary to seek legal help to negotiate.

Support with disputes

When spouses face disputes related to pre-nuptial or postnuptial agreements, we can assist clients in solving these matters.

Examples of issues that we can help clients with include:

  • Where one party believes that the terms of the prenup or postnup are unfair and, therefore, do not wish to sign the document
  • Where one party has not provided full financial disclosure
  • Where one party wishes to amend the agreement, but the other party does not agree

Frequently asked questions about pre-nuptial and postnuptial agreements

What is a pre-nuptial agreement?

A prenuptial agreement is an agreement that a couple chooses to enter into before getting married. It establishes ownership of assets and how these assets would be divided if the couple were to divorce or dissolve their civil partnership later.

What is included in a pre-nuptial agreement varies according to the couple. However, these agreements typically cover property, money and debts, in addition to specific assets like business shares.

What is a postnuptial agreement?

A postnuptial agreement serves the same purpose as a pre-nuptial agreement, outlining asset ownership and how property and money would be divided in the event of divorce.

However, a postnuptial agreement is entered into after a couple is already married or in a civil partnership. The idea is that couples who want to protect their assets still have the opportunity to do so, regardless of the fact that they have already entered into marriage.

Our specialist postnuptial agreement solicitors on the Isle of Wight can help you draft a postnup that aligns with your needs while providing personalised legal advice.

Why should you consider a pre-nuptial or postnuptial agreement?

You should consider a pre-nuptial or postnuptial agreement to safeguard your property and assets and avoid being held responsible for any debts belonging to your spouse, should you later divorce.

Having a pre-nuptial agreement in place can make financial settlement processes slightly easier to navigate in certain circumstances.

What should be included in a pre-nuptial or postnuptial agreement?

What is included in a pre-nuptial or postnuptial agreement will vary depending on the couple's needs and preferences.

Areas that are often covered include:

  • Property, whether owned by one partner or both
  • Companies owned by one or both spouses
  • Savings and income
  • Pensions
  • Debts

If you would like guidance on what to include in your prenup our prenup solicitors would be more than happy to assist.

Can a prenup or postnup be changed?

Yes, it is possible to change a prenup or postnup, but only if both parties are in agreement. If the parties cannot agree on the changes, they may need legal support to renegotiate.

If you would like to change an existing prenup, please contact our experts today.
