Drafting and registering antenuptial contracts before marriage.

Service Overview

Understanding Antenuptial Contracts

Key legal context, practical guidance, and process insights relevant to your antenuptial contracts matter.

An antenuptial contract is entered into when couples do not want to marry in community of property, and it must be concluded before marriage.

It gives couples the opportunity to define how assets and gains will be treated if the marriage ends through death or divorce and prevents automatic in-community-of-property consequences.

We explain each marital regime in plain language so you can make a practical decision based on your personal and financial circumstances.

Where required, we can include specific clauses to protect business interests, inheritance expectations, and existing assets.

If you already have significant assets, business interests, or family trusts, an ANC can provide certainty and reduce future disputes about ownership and estate growth.

Timing is essential because the agreement must be signed and notarised before the wedding date, with registration thereafter completed at the Deeds Office.

We ensure you understand the available marital dispensations and that your antenuptial contract is expertly drafted and registered in the Deeds Office.

  • Choose between with-accrual and without-accrual structures.
  • Sign and notarise before marriage to ensure legal validity.
  • Registration at the Deeds Office within the prescribed period.
  • Protect personal assets, inheritances, and business interests.
  • Receive practical advice before finalising marriage terms.
