An ante-nuptial contract is not about planning for a relationship to fail. It is a practical agreement that helps couples begin married life with clarity about ownership, debt and future growth.
Choose the right property system
South African couples can marry in community of property or out of community of property, with or without accrual. Each option has different consequences for assets, liabilities and financial independence.
Sign before the wedding
The agreement must be prepared and signed before the marriage and registered correctly. Early legal advice gives both partners time to understand the terms and make an informed decision together.
