Pre-Nuptial Agreements
At the end of a marriage, a property settlement dispute can lead to deep bitterness and large legal expenses. It can all be avoided by the parties signing a pre-nuptial agreement. Although they are commonly called "pre-nups" they can be made either before or after marriage.
The agreement states clearly what each party will receive on separation, including how to divide or sell jointly owned assets, such as a home.
The Somerville Legal family law team will advise you and prepare simple but legally effective agreements, to protect your entitlements to the family assets, and to keep you from ending up in Court, fighting over property.
For a pre-nuptial agreement to be valid, each party must receive independent legal advice on signing. If required, we can direct your partner to an independent solicitor, experienced in advising on pre-nuptial agreements.
