London Family Law Solicitors: Reviewing Prenuptial Agreements
If you are presented with a prenuptial agreement, you must have it reviewed by an independent solicitor — someone other than the lawyer who wrote it or is advising your fiancée or fiancé — in order for it to be enforceable under English law.
The family lawyers at Rollingsons Solicitors will review your prenuptial agreement to make sure your rights and best interests are protected. If you have been asked to sign a prenuptial agreement, please contact our offices in London. We offer an efficient service and quality legal advice at reasonable fees.
Prenuptial Agreement Review
We will review the terms of the prenuptial agreement and suggest changes if we believe you are being treated unfairly. In these cases, we are available to negotiate any alterations to the contract with the solicitor representing your fiancée or fiancé.
Because English courts do not automatically recognise prenuptial agreements, it is important to take care in their preparation and review. If you later produce evidence that you were under duress when you signed the prenuptial agreement, or that the agreement favoured one party over the other, it may not be enforceable by the court.
In addition to reviewing a prenuptial agreement before a marriage or civil partnership begins, we can draft, review and revise agreements at a later date.A prenuptial agreement is a practical step you can take to protect yourself financially should the marriage end in divorce or if the civil partnership is dissolved. If you are spending the time and money necessary to obtain a prenup, it makes sense to have it independently reviewed by a lawyer experienced in family law.
