What Is a Prenuptial Agreement?

A prenuptial agreement (also known as a prenup) is a legal contract made between two people before they get married. It sets out how assets, debts, and other financial matters will be handled if the marriage ends in divorce or separation.

While prenuptial agreements aren't automatically binding in UK courts, they are increasingly being upheld, especially if they are fair, made well in advance of the wedding, and both parties received independent legal advice.

Who Should Get a Prenuptial Agreement?

Prenuptial agreements aren't just for the super-wealthy or celebrities; they're becoming more common for couples from all walks of life. If you're getting married and want to protect your financial future, a prenuptial agreement (or prenup) could be a smart choice.

You should consider getting a prenup if:

• You own property or other valuable assets: If you already own a house, savings, or investments before marriage, a prenuptial agreement can help protect those assets in case of divorce.
• You're expecting to receive an inheritance: A prenup allows you to ring-fence future inheritances or family wealth so that they remain separate from marital finances.
• You run a business or are a shareholder: If you're a business owner, a prenup can help keep your business interests secure and avoid complications later.
• You have children from a previous relationship: A prenup can make sure your children's financial interests are protected and that certain assets remain reserved for them.
• You or your partner has significant debts: A prenuptial agreement can also protect you from becoming responsible for your partner's existing debts.
• You simply want clarity and peace of mind: Many couples choose a fixed-fee prenuptial agreement just to have open and honest conversations about finances early on, setting clear expectations for the future.

At Wembley Solicitors, our family law solicitors in London offer clear, professional advice and fixed-fee prenups starting from £1,000 + VAT, so you know exactly what you're paying from the start. Whether your situation is straightforward or more complex, we'll help you protect what matters most, fairly and legally.

What Does a Prenuptial Agreement Typically Include?

A typical prenuptial agreement may include:

• Property ownership: Assets owned before marriage, such as houses or land.
• Savings and investments: Bank accounts, ISAs, stocks, and other investments.
• Business interests: Protection for any business owned by either partner.
• Pensions and retirement funds – How pension pots will be handled.
• Inheritance: Safeguarding family wealth or future inheritances.
• Debts: Clarifying responsibility for personal or joint debts.
• Spousal maintenance: Agreements on post-separation financial support.
• Future income or assets: Provisions for earnings, bonuses, or future purchases.
• Personal belongings: Valuables like jewellery, vehicles, or art.

A well-drafted prenup gives both partners a clear understanding of what to expect. It's not about mistrust, it's about planning ahead, especially when either or both partners have significant assets, are remarrying, or want to avoid legal uncertainty in the future.

When Should I Sign a Prenuptial Agreement?

To be taken seriously by the court, your prenup should be signed at least 28 days before your wedding or civil partnership. This shows that neither party was pressured or rushed into the agreement.

How Long Does a Prenuptial Agreement Last?

A prenuptial agreement remains in force for the duration of the marriage. It doesn't expire unless you agree to change it or replace it with a postnuptial agreement after marriage.

Do Both Parties Need Legal Advice?

Yes. To ensure a prenuptial agreement is legally valid and likely to be upheld in court, both parties must seek independent legal advice. At Wembley Solicitors, we can represent one party while referring the other to a trusted, separate legal adviser. This helps ensure the agreement is fair and entered into voluntarily by both sides.

Do I Need a Solicitor to Create a Prenuptial Agreement?

Yes, it is highly advisable to consult with a specialist family law solicitor when creating a prenuptial agreement. Both parties need to receive independent legal advice to ensure the agreement is fair and legally enforceable.

Our prenuptial agreement solicitors in London can help draft the agreement and negotiate the terms to ensure it is legally sound and tailored to your needs.

The process can be quick and efficient, especially with a fixed-fee prenup service. Once we have your financial information, most agreements can be drafted and finalised in as little as 1 to 2 weeks.

We recommend starting the process at least 6 to 8 weeks before the wedding, to ensure enough time for review and legal advice.

How Much Does a Prenuptial Agreement Cost?

Our prenuptial agreement solicitors charge an affordable fixed fee of £1000 plus VAT for complete legal services regarding drafting a prenuptial agreement.

The cost of a prenup in the UK varies depending on your situation. Simple agreements are often available for a fixed fee, while more complex arrangements (involving businesses or multiple assets) may cost more.

We offer clear, fixed-fee services for prenuptial agreements, tailored to your circumstances and with no hidden costs.
