Earlier this month a decision by the Court of Appeal brought the whole debate surrounding the validity to pre-nuptial agreements back into the spotlight. After years of uncertainty and inconsistency as to how Judges dealt with pre-nups (and with no recent guidance from Parliament), were such agreements accepted by the Courts or not? The good news is Judges hearing the appeal of Katrin Radmacher all believed such agreements should carry decisive weight when they were exercising the wide discretion "of fairness".
So where do pre-nups go from here?
- The first rule of thumb is an agreement may not be wholly accepted by a Judge but there is now a better chance.
- The second rule of thumb is it is far better to have a properly drafted agreement than no agreement at all.
- The final rule of thumb is if you believe a pre-nuptial agreement is required to protect your assets instruct Jones Myers to ensure you get it right.
