An Antenuptial Contract is one of the most important documents that you may ever sign and in the hype and rush of wedding preparations people often time neglect to or treat same as an afterthought attended to in the very last minute, with little or no thought given to the content thereof.

It is clear from the title itself (the word ante meaning “before” in Latin), that the Agreement must be signed by both parties prior to the date of marriage. The terms of the agreement come into effect on the Death of one or both of the parties or Divorce. As much as you don’t envisage Divorce at the time of entering into a marriage, statistics speak for itself.
