insert_drive_file Compare

A Pre-Nuptial Agreement is a formal agreement entered into prior to a marriage or civil partnership which sets out who owns what at the time of marriage or civil partnership and how the couple envisage that those assets should be divided in the event of the breakdown of the relationship. Currently there is no guarantee that this type of agreement would be honoured by the Courts of England and Wales, in the event of divorce. However the Courts are now begining to consider them provided certain legal requirements are honoured including the fact that each person must enter the agreement voluntarily, each person must give full and frank disclosure of their assets, each person must have taken independent legal advice and the agreement must be signed at least 21 days before the date of marriage or civil partnership. This fixed fee service would be suitable where you have both already reached an agreement concerning your finances and property and how they would be divided in the event you seperated in the future. It will not include further advice or negotiation.

Advice whether the agreement reached is reasonable (with no sight of supporting financial documents)
