Post nuptial agreements can be drawn up by solicitors in North Wales on behalf of couples, and should cover issues such as financial arrangements in the event of a divorce.
To ensure these documents are legal and above board, they often follow a similar format and should include the details of each individual involved such as their full names and marital statuses. They are designed to protect assets and address financial concerns.
Other essential details to add to a post nuptial agreement include the date of the marriage and evidence that both parties involved, understand what they are signing and are fully in agreement for doing so. Both people involved in agreeing to this document should list all of their individual assets that could include property and monies. The next step will be to state how these items will be divided up if they get divorced. Issues like spousal maintenance and debt can be included.
It is vital that both parties are completely honest about their estates when this document is completed. Divorce solicitors in North Wales will advise also each person about their responsibilities and obligations once this paperwork has been agreed and signed. Unambiguous language must be used and arrangements for updating it should be considered in the event of the birth of a child for example. Like Wills, the document will need to be signed and witnessed.
