Preparing for the future doesn’t need to feel uncomfortable or complicated. Many couples now choose a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement as a practical step to protect both partners and reduce stress if circumstances ever change.
At Lanarkshire Law Practice, we explain these agreements in plain English and help you decide whether one is right for your situation. You don’t need to know the law – we can guide you through it.
What is a prenuptial agreement?
A prenuptial agreement is a written contract made before marriage that sets out what should happen to finances if the relationship ends. It can include property, savings, investments, and other assets.
What is a postnuptial agreement?
A postnuptial agreement works the same way but is created after you are already married or in a civil partnership.
Are these agreements legally binding?
In Scotland, courts generally respect prenups and postnups if they are fair, reasonable, and properly prepared. We ensure your agreement is written clearly and reflects your intentions.
