Why Not Come and See Us Before You Get Married?
This may not be the romantic advice you expect to hear—but it could be the most important conversation you have before saying “I do.”
We’re seeing more and more clients facing painful, complicated divorces that, quite frankly, could have been avoided with the right legal advice before the marriage began. It’s disheartening to see people trapped in financial and emotional turmoil that with advised planning was preventable.
At Benussi & Co we believe in protecting your future—before it’s at risk.
Thinking About a Prenup? Think Bigger.
Prenuptial agreements are becoming more common, but they’re only one piece of the puzzle. Whether you’re bringing significant assets into a marriage, have children from a previous relationship, or simply want clarity, we can help you plan strategically.
We go beyond standard prenups to offer smart, practical strategies tailored to your situation.
Prenuptial agreements can be especially challenging in second marriages or when individuals are marrying later in life, often because there are more capital assets – whether it’s accumulated wealth, children from previous relationships, or complex financial obligations.
One of Our Top Tips? Protect Pre-Marital Property
If you own a property in your sole name, think carefully before turning it into a shared marital home. Doing so can “matrimonialise” the asset—making it open to claims in the event of divorce.
Instead, consider this approach:
- Keep your sole property rented and the income in a separate bank account.
- Buy a new home jointly with your partner to serve as your marital residence.
This way, your original property stays yours and protected—no ambiguity, no unnecessary stress if things go wrong.
