When you’re starting out in a new relationship, it can sometimes be hard to consider what may happen if you were to separate in the future.
However if you have assets you have accumulated prior to your relationship commecning, you might wish to consider entering into a Pre-Nuptial Agreement to agree in advance what happens to assets if you should separate in the future. D A Family Lawyers appreciate that is an extremely sensitive issue, and we are skilled at negotiating in a respectful and fair way.
These types of agreements provide clear guidance about how matters will be resolved between you in future if it becomes necessary. Some people prefer the certainty of an agreement about division of property in the event that the relationship breaks down. The advantages offered are that parties are able to pre-agree, at a time when they are still able to communicate with each other in a respectful and loving way, rather than when emotions are high following the breakdown of a relationship.
The types of issues that can be covered in a Pre-Nuptial Agreement are:
- What happens to assets you hold at the time you enter the relationship
- What happens to assets you acquire together during the relationship
- How you will pay for accommodation if you are living in a property owned by one party paying a mortgage in their sole name.
