What is a Postnuptial Agreement?

A Postnuptial Agreement is a legal document entered into by civil partners or married couples anytime after a civil partnership or marriage. It can be done immediately, to many years later.

An agreement typically covers the division of assets and property, and financial arrangements in case of a separation or relationship breakdown. Postnuptial agreements can be updated to reflect changes in the couple’s situation such as one party receiving an inheritance.
