What is a Prenuptial Agreement?

A Prenuptial Agreement (or ‘Prenup’) is an agreement between a couple, made before they marry or form a civil partnership, that addresses the ownership of any property should their marriage or civil partnership end. Prenuptial Agreements set out the assets (ie property and money) that belong to each person before the marriage or civil partnership and clarify that they will remain the property of that person after the ceremony and, if it ends, the marriage/civil partnership itself.

For use in England and Wales only.

When should I use a Prenuptial Agreement?

Use this Prenup if you and your partner:

• are getting married or entering into a civil partnership
• want assets owned separately to remain in separate names
• want liabilities owed separately to remain in separate names
• want neither of you to have any claim against the other for maintenance or support if the marriage or partnership breaks down
• agree to complete this agreement and are honest about your finances and property
• have taken (or will take) independent legal advice
