Prenuptial agreements can be very advantageous for many couples, providing an opportunity for an open, detailed discussion around finances and your shared future.

Wherever possible, we will support you with points of contention and assist with a full financial disclosure so that the agreement is legally sound, enforceable, and completed to a high standard.

Whether you own property, have investments, or expect to receive an inheritance, Glanvilles can help safeguard these assets with clear protections written into the agreement.
Timing matters for prenuptial agreements. We recognise that couples preparing for their weddings already face many important deadlines and have busy timetables.
In order for a prenup to be legally valid, it must be signed at least 28 days before the wedding. So, the sooner you are able to instruct your solicitor, the better.
Our prenuptial agreement solicitors will work with you to ensure that the process is time-efficient and minimally invasive, making sure your prenup is completed in time and that it does not slow you down.
A well-drafted and planned prenuptial agreement should effectively reduce the risk of a legal battle in the event that your marriage ends.
Our solicitors will ensure that your prenup includes protections for the future and that it is fully fair, transparent, documented, and likely to be enforced by the court with no contest.
A prenuptial agreement, sometimes just called a prenup or a pre-marriage agreement, is a legal contract established between two people before they get married. It sets out how property, finances, and other assets should be divided in the event of a divorce.
A pre-marriage agreement is a chance to get on the same page and reach a point of clarity for both parties involved, reducing the likelihood of conflict and expensive legal fees in the event of a divorce or separation.
A prenup is worth considering in a range of personal circumstances, such as if you own a business, expect a significant inheritance, have substantial assets, or have children from a previous relationship.
A UK prenup can be a sure way to protect your assets and reduce financial uncertainty should you and your partner divorce. With a prenuptial agreement solicitor, you can rest assured that you are financially safeguarded for the future.
A prenuptial agreement will define how assets, debts, income, and property should be handled in the event that you and your partner divorce. It can also include outlines of the obligations that you’ll take on during the marriage, especially in a pre-marriage agreement, which will help couples to reach crucial agreements in advance.
There are many advantages to prenuptial agreements, as they allow couples to enter a marriage with a clear understanding of both their shared and individual financial positions. A marriage prenup can:
Working with our skilled prenuptial agreement lawyers ensures that your agreement is legally airtight and tailored to your exact needs.
A prenuptial agreement is not automatically legally binding. However, in England and Wales, courts are more and more likely to uphold the agreement so long as it meets certain criteria. This includes that a full financial disclosure was made, independent legal advice was involved, and that it was a fair agreement signed 28 days in advance of the marriage.
If you are considering a prenup, it makes sense to involve reputable prenuptial agreement lawyers to ensure that your hard work and intentions will be upheld by the court. Glanvilles can review existing documents or start them from scratch, making sure that they meet the court’s criteria as well as your specific needs.
The cost of a prenuptial agreement will likely depend on the complexity of your shared and individual financial complications and the willingness of the involved parties to reach common ground and negotiate on sticking points.
Our specialist prenuptial agreement solicitors can provide a clear breakdown of the costs and a transparent explanation at each stage of potential change, ensuring that you can proceed fully informed to make a financial commitment.
Negotiations for a prenup can take anywhere from a matter of days to a few months, depending on the complexity of the arrangements, the value of the finances involved, and how quickly both parties can provide a full financial disclosure.
In order to avoid delays, it’s best to open discussions with your prenuptial agreement solicitor comfortably in advance of the marriage. To prevent it from eclipsing your special day or the busy arrangements leading up to it, ideally, you would start discussions several months in advance.
