What Is a Postnuptial Agreement?

A postnuptial agreement (or “postnup”) is a written agreement made after you marry or enter a civil partnership. It sets out how assets, property, income, and debts would be handled if the relationship were to end.

But postnups aren’t about planning for failure, they’re about protecting each other, fostering open communication, and creating clarity for the future. Think of it as a proactive step to reduce future stress and strengthen trust.

What Can a Postnuptial Agreement Cover?

No two couples are the same and no two postnups should be either. Your agreement can cover:

• Property owned before or during the marriage
• Business assets or shares
• Savings, pensions, and investments
• Inheritance or family wealth
• Jointly owned property
• Financial support if the relationship ends
• Responsibility for debts or liabilities

We’ll work closely with you to create a fair, practical agreement that respects your unique circumstances and goals. Call our specialist family team today on 01642 843 671 or use our contact form and we will call you back.

Is a Postnuptial Agreement Right for You?

A postnup may be a wise option if:

• You’ve received a significant inheritance or family gift
• You’ve launched or grown a business
• You’re in a second marriage or blending families
• You purchased a property after getting married
• You missed the chance to sign a prenup
• You’ve reconciled after a separation and want clarity moving forward

Whatever the reason, a postnup can help you move forward with confidence and shared understanding.

Are Postnuptial Agreements Legally Binding?

Postnups aren’t automatically binding in England and Wales, but courts do take them seriously when:

• Both parties had independent legal advice
• The agreement was entered into freely and willingly
• There was full financial disclosure
• The terms are fair and reasonable
• Circumstances haven’t changed dramatically since signing

We’ll ensure your agreement meets all key legal requirements giving you the best chance of enforceability if ever needed.

Do Both Partners Need a Solicitor?

Yes, to ensure fairness and legal validity, both partners must receive independent legal advice.

We’ll work respectfully and collaboratively with your partner’s solicitor, keeping the process smooth and balanced from beginning to end.
