WHAT WE DO
We understand that whilst this is a time full of joy, it is also wise to consider the legal and financial aspects that can protect your future. Whether you are entering into a marriage, a civil partnership, or choosing to live together, clarity from the outset avoids misunderstandings later.
We can help by drafting and advising on cohabitation agreements, pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, or if you have assets abroad, we can provide advice on complex, jurisdictional issues.
As more couples live together without being married or in a civil partnership, the need for the law to change to match society’s social trends has grown. In law, if you are not married your rights regarding finances, children and property can be limited. A cohabitation agreement is a legal document that outlines the rights and responsibilities of each partner to one another.
A cohabitation agreement provides protection by formalising the financial obligations, property rights and other aspects of their day to day life, that could otherwise lead to conflict. Providing certain conditions are fulfilled, the courts are reluctant to interfere with a cohabitation agreement that has been entered into with independent advice and financial disclosure.
Pre-nuptial agreements are agreements entered into before marriage. They provide for the division of assets if a marriage comes to an end. In England and Wales, pre-nuptial agreements are not legally binding, but the courts are increasingly reluctant to interfere with the terms of a pre-nuptial agreement if both parties have entered into the agreement of their own accord and have had independent advice and financial disclosure. The courts will look at whether the terms of the agreement are fair and reasonable.
We have significant expertise and expertise in advising our clients on pre-nuptial agreements, which provide clarity and security for clients in the future, to ensure they have the best chance of being upheld.
We can provide specialist advice on protecting property interests from potential claims, due to our experience in how the family courts treat property assets. We draft and advise on pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, give family law advice in relation to the structure and management of trusts, how cohabitation agreements can safeguard property interests when you are not married and advice on how the family courts treat assets which have been part of inheritance tax planning or complex tax planning.
