An introduction to pre-nuptial agreements

Sam Longworth is joined by partner Richard Hogwood and senior associate Charlotte Sanders in the first of two episodes focusing on pre-nups, also addressing post-nups. A nuptial agreement aims to build a framework for what will happen in the context of any future separation and divorce, focusing on the financial aspects but also other arrangements. Pre-nups are mainly used where wealth exists at the time of the marriage or is likely to come to one of the parties later (through inheritance), and one or both parties wish to protect it from a claim if the relationship breaks down.
