Secured Against the Unknown
In case your marriage breaks down, an agreement in advance can secure your future.
We all hope our marriages will last forever and love will never languish, but, unfortunately, this is not always the case. A pre or post nuptial agreement can help you and your partner establish how your assets will be divided in the event of your divorce – something that can be crucial for high net worth individuals. If you decide a nuptial agreement is for you, we can support you throughout the process.
Aequitas’ team of expert family lawyers can help you formulate your nuptial agreement, ensuring all assets are accounted for, and both parties fully understand the terms. In the event of your marriage ending, we can guide you through the divorce process and put forward your case as to why the agreement should or should not be upheld.

Prenuptial Agreement
A prenup is a formal agreement drafted between you and your partner before you get married. It can be as comprehensive as you want it to be, covering assets, property, inheritance, insurance, outstanding debts, future income, belongings, and even what spousal maintenance will be provided. Alternatively, it can just be used to establish that certain non-matrimonial assets are solely owned by one partner. Though not legally binding in the UK, courts are likely to take these agreements as a declaration of intent unless other factors make it unsuitable.
Aequitas have years of experience creating prenuptial agreements that satisfy both parties and safeguard their future. Talking through your ‘exit plan’ can actually mean you enter the marriage with open eyes, confident in your financial security. From drafting the agreement to upholding it in court to contesting an unfair one, our leading team of family lawyers are ready to fight your corner.
Postnuptial Agreement
A postnup is effectively the same as a prenup, only it is created during the marriage. Couples decide to get postnups for different reasons. Maybe they intended to sign a prenup but didn’t have time before the wedding. Maybe they are well into their marriage and want to clarify and solve issues, or shorten divorce proceedings. Also, if you receive a large financial gift or inheritance and want to safeguard your ownership of the assets, a postnup can be the ideal solution.
At Aequitas, we’ve worked with couples at all different stages of marriage to formulate agreements that define the ownership of assets, and ensure these are upheld at court. Equally, if your partner is trying to argue for the validity of an unfair postnup, our experienced family solicitors can represent you and ensure you get a suitable settlement.
