As financial landscapes become more complex, couples planning to marry increasingly recognise the importance of protecting their individual wealth and setting clear financial expectations. At the heart of this process is prenup document preparation—a legal service that ensures your prenuptial agreement is valid, enforceable, and aligned with your long-term goals.
Whether you're safeguarding a property portfolio, family inheritance, or business assets, professional document preparation is essential. In this article, we explore the key steps in preparing a prenup, what makes it legally sound in the UK, and how Fraser Bond supports clients throughout the process.
Prenup document preparation is the structured process of creating a legally robust prenuptial agreement that outlines how financial matters will be handled in the event of divorce or separation. This includes:
Identifying and disclosing all assets and liabilities
Defining property ownership
Setting terms for spousal maintenance
Establishing rules for business or inheritance protection
A well-prepared document is essential for legal enforceability and long-term peace of mind.
While prenups are not automatically binding in England and Wales, UK courts increasingly uphold them if certain legal standards are met. These include:
Each party must openly share their financial position.
Both parties must receive legal counsel from separate solicitors.
No coercion, pressure, or rushed signing.
The agreement must reflect a balanced arrangement at the time of signing and enforcement.
The prenup must be signed at least 28 days before the wedding.
A professionally prepared document ensures these conditions are fully met.
Meet with a family law solicitor to discuss:
The purpose of the prenup
Assets you wish to protect
Future financial plans
Each partner provides a comprehensive overview of assets, debts, income, and liabilities. Supporting documents are typically included.
A tailored agreement is drafted to reflect:
Pre-marital and marital property
Spousal support expectations
Property ownership terms
Trusts, inheritance, and business interests
Both parties review the draft with their respective solicitors. Adjustments may be made to ensure clarity and fairness.
Once finalised, the agreement is:
Signed voluntarily
Properly witnessed
Stored securely for future reference
Using generic online templates without legal review
Failing to disclose all financial assets
Rushing the signing close to the wedding date
Relying on verbal or informal agreements
Not updating the prenup if circumstances change
