A prenuptial agreement (prenup) offers couples clarity, transparency, and legal protection over their financial affairs before marriage. However, in the UK, a prenup isn’t automatically binding unless it meets specific legal standards.
That’s why choosing a legally binding prenup service is crucial. A professionally prepared prenup ensures your agreement has the best chance of being upheld in court—especially important for individuals with significant property, investments, inheritance, or prior family obligations.
This article explains what makes a prenup legally binding in the UK, what to expect from expert legal services, and how Fraser Bond supports clients seeking enforceable, tailored protection for their assets.
In England and Wales, prenuptial agreements are not automatically enforceable. However, since the landmark case of Radmacher v Granatino (2010), courts do recognise and uphold prenups—provided they meet key legal criteria.
To maximise enforceability, a prenup must:
Both parties must sign voluntarily, without pressure or duress.
Each person must provide a clear overview of assets, liabilities, and income.
The agreement should be signed at least 28 days before the wedding.
The terms must not disadvantage one party unjustly, especially at the time of enforcement.
Each party must receive advice from a separate solicitor to confirm they understand the implications.
Working with a specialist legal team ensures your prenup is:
Custom-drafted based on your financial situation
Includes property, inheritance, and business protections
Fully compliant with UK legal standards
Prepared and signed within the appropriate timeframe
Reviewed to ensure fairness and long-term relevance
