Prenuptial Agreements
Our experienced Prenuptial agreement solicitors work from our offices in Dorset and Wiltshire to advise you on the best way you can prepare for every eventuality.
While prenuptial agreements may appear unromantic, they are likely the best method to assure that if your marriage ends, there will be as little property and financial turmoil as possible.
Writing a Prenuptial Agreement
Planning a wedding is exciting, and it’s also a time to think about your long‑term future. While you hope for a happy marriage, it’s sensible to prepare for life’s uncertainties. A Prenuptial Agreement allows you and your partner to enter marriage knowing exactly where you both stand if things change later. It’s also a good time to create or update your will.

A Prenuptial Agreement sets out how each person’s assets and finances should be handled if the marriage ends. Both partners must take independent legal advice, and the agreement should be prepared well before the wedding to ensure it is fair and more likely to be upheld by the courts.

Not at all. A Prenuptial Agreement doesn’t take away from the romance of your day—it’s simply a practical step to protect both partners. With support from our experienced solicitors, the process is straightforward, giving you peace of mind so you can focus on enjoying your wedding and your future together.
