Prenuptial agreement solicitors

Prenuptial agreements are particularly useful if you need to protect assets acquired before your relationship started. They can cover the full range of assets, such as finances, property etc and also issues relating to children, should you have any. 

Consult prenuptial agreement solicitors

Prenuptial agreements are complex legal documents and should be prepared by specialist family law solicitor. At Tees our experts will: 

• identify your key assets
• advise on your legal responsibilities
• draft a prenuptial agreement that will stand up in court.

To give a prenuptial agreement the best chance of being followed by a court, those entering into the agreement should following the following principles:

• Both parties should receive independent legal advice
• There should be full and frank disclosure in relation to all circumstances but particularly finances
• There should be no undue influence to enter into the agreement – often this is considered to be time pressure and therefore completing the agreement at least a month before the wedding is considered good practice
• The agreement should be fair in the circumstances.

If both partners enter into the agreement with a full appreciation of the implications, the Court should uphold it (unless it would be unfair to do so). Fairness is key if the agreement is to hold up in court.
