pre nups are on the rise as couples protect assets

Are you planning to get married and considering a prenuptial agreement? If so, you’re not alone. Our law firm, OLS Solicitors, has seen a 60% increase in prenuptial agreements since 2021.

As solicitors with a particular expertise in prenups, we can guide you through the process and help you protect your assets and interests. We cna also advise people who have been asked to sign pre nups as to whether it is in their best interests to do so.

What is a prenuptial agreement?

A prenuptial agreement is a legal document that outlines how your assets will be divided in the event of a divorce. It can help you protect your assets and ensure that both parties are aware of their rights and responsibilities. Prenups are not just for the wealthy; anyone with assets to protect can benefit from having one in place.

Our Approach

We take a personalised approach to each prenuptial agreement. We begin by understanding your situation and listening to your concerns and needs. From there, we will guide you through the legal process and draft a prenup that is tailored to your specific needs. We will ensure that your prenup is as legally watertight as possible taking into account the current case law.

Benefits of a prenuptial agreement

Having a prenuptial agreement in place can provide a range of benefits, including:

Asset protection: A prenup can protect your assets and ensure that they are distributed according to your wishes in the event of a divorce.

Clarity: A prenup can provide clarity and avoid misunderstandings about financial arrangements and division of assets.

Cost savings: A prenup can save you money on legal fees in the event of a divorce, as it can help streamline the process.

Protection for children: A prenup can protect assets for children from previous relationships.

Prenuptial agreements are becoming more and more popular, and at OLS Solicitors, we have seen a 121% increase in prenups since 2021 as more couples seek to preserve assets after marrying later in life.
