General wedding discussion!: Pre Nups

i wasnt sure what i should put this under so hopefully this category is ok. sorry mods if it isnt.

ok, here is the situation. We are thinking about doing a pre nup so if something does go wrong, (hope to god it doesnt tho) i wont be able to take any of his flat that i live in and the other reason is:

my dad has a villa in spain and it is worth quite a lot of money, so me and 2 sisters will inherit this and my dad suggested that we did a pre nup as he wants it to stay in the family which i can understand as it has been in the family for over 50 years. and to be fair i would be gutted if we split up and i had to give half my third away.

I really dot believe that we will split up otherwise i wouldnt be marrying him but just wanted other peoples advice on this and is it expensive to have one done? xx
- CommentAuthorlovelylainee
I don't know much about it but it can be done in a not very expensive way. Perhaps if you have a look on legal advice websites there may be something that will help.

A pre nup is just a binding agreement the two of you have made that says that should blah blah blah happen then neither of you take blah blah stuff that belongs to the other

You could probably write it yourself and just get some legal personnel to agree it on headed paper so it is an official agreement.

Best of luck making that decision hun - is a toughy xxx

i think if you are both happy doing it then do it and as you say its not because you don't believe in your relationship is a personal preference.

Have a look in w h smith they may do one ???

We have done one but only because we have both been divorced before and in our marriage we both bring considerable "stuff" I have a large house and he has a narrowboat so god forbid anything happened neither one of us should be able to take the other persons property. We do however have provisions for each other in our wills (which will need to be changed /updated when we marry) but that says that the other person can live in either properties until their death (morbid I know) and then it is given to the kids (mine or his) but our pensions/savings/shares etc are the other persons and only when we have both popped our clogs will it then go to the kids. I dont think its tempting fate to have one nor does it sound like a get out clause but I wouldnt like to lose what I have worked hard for and it was his suggestion to protect my assets. Some may say its not very romantic but compared to not having one and then spitting up stuff if it does go wrong is more costly believe me.

Prenups are upheld only at the discretion of the court your case is heard in so you could spend serious money on having one drawn up for a judge to tell you it isn't worth the paper it's written on.
They are not a surefire safeguard so don't lull yourself into a false sense of security with it. You'd be better off making a written contract between you which you both sign

It's right what they say
"The course of true love never runs smoothly"
But if it had been easy then we wouldn't love each other as
much as we do right now - 1 week to go :D

thank all...will have to find out a bit more info then i think!! xx
- CommentAuthorRags
Yeh, me and h2b will have a written contract between the 2 of us, not involving any lawyers but stating that should the worst happen he is not entitled to my first house. We will be saving for a mortgage of our own and getting that together, but seen as tho I bought my house at 18 I wouldn't want anyone to be in a position to take half of it away from me! As Pre Nups are not yet automatically taken into consideration I don't see the point in having one drawn up legally, it should just be enough that we have both been witnessed signing.....

I'm now a married woman
I have a gorgeous husband
Whats to do now
Theres no more wedding planning to do
- CommentAuthor*KelBel*
i'd do one if we had reasonable assets,h2b has had his house since his first marriage but he's not bothered about one....i'd do one if it was the other way round

pre nups arent worth the paper they are written on in this country so like kerry lou said you would be better off with a contract. x
- CommentAuthorUnknown
i had read somewhere that they are legal in uk courts now...will have to have a look.

might be worth doing a contract then and getting witnesses to watch us sign xx
- CommentAuthor*KelBel*
yeah they have been made legal in the courts now, think it was made official few weeks ago!x

They HAVE been made legal BUT it's still up to the ruling Judge as to whether or not it's upheld. At this point in time it is safer to have a contract drawn up as that would be indesputable xxx

As others have said vthey are not legally binding in this country. Also, I am getting married in a catholic church and if we had a prenup the father wouldn't marry us as it looks like your starting a marriage thinking it might fail. If you are getting married in a church you may not be able to have one unless it doesn't come up in conversation. x
