Legal misconception: “Pre-nups are only for celebrities or the ultra-wealthy.”
Pre-nuptial agreements are often associated with high-profile marriages, but they can be useful for many couples who want greater clarity before getting married.
They can help set out how assets, property, business interests or inherited wealth should be treated if the relationship later breaks down. While the court retains ultimate discretion in England and Wales, a carefully prepared agreement can carry significant weight when entered into properly.
Taking advice early helps both parties understand their position and approach the future with greater confidence.
