Prenuptial Agreement

A prenuptial agreement is an agreement between spouses that allows them to deviate from the legal default rules on the division of property when a marriage ends — either through divorce or death.

✔ Reduces risks and uncertainty in the event of divorce – agreed limitations make the division of property clearer.

✔ Protects children’s position in blended families – a prenuptial agreement can prevent property from passing to the new heirs of the other spouse.

✔ Enables a fair solution – the agreement can be tailored to suit the couple’s specific situation.

✔ Protects assets – a prenuptial agreement can prevent, for example, inherited or gifted property from having to be divided in a divorce.

✔ Keeps a business owner’s business assets in their own hands – especially important for those who have business activities or investments.

What is a prenuptial agreement?

Without a prenuptial agreement, spouses generally have marital rights to each other’s property. This means that all property is, as a rule, added together and divided equally in the division of matrimonial property, regardless of whose name the property is in.

With a prenuptial agreement, spouses can agree, for example, that each spouse keeps their own property separate, so that no marital right arises at all, or that the marital right only applies to certain property, such as a jointly acquired home, but not to inheritances or gifts.

A prenuptial agreement is a preventive and protective document that allows spouses to plan their financial relationship openly and fairly. It can be especially important in blended families, for entrepreneurs, or where there is an imbalance in the spouses’ wealth, or where one spouse has received gifts or inheritances.

For a prenuptial agreement to be valid, it must be made in writing and registered with the Digital and Population Data Services Agency before the marriage ends.

A continuing power of attorney ensures that your affairs, such as paying bills and other personal matters, will be taken care of if you are temporarily or permanently unable to manage them yourself due to, for example, hospitalization, memory decline or an accident.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is it advisable to make a prenuptial agreement?

If you want to ensure that you get to keep all property you currently own and any property you accumulate in the future. For this reason, a prenuptial agreement is especially advisable for anyone who runs a business or is planning to do so.
If you are, or expect to become, significantly wealthier than your spouse.
In blended families, a prenuptial agreement is highly recommended if you want to ensure that your wealth remains with you or your own children.
If you do not want to become responsible for your spouse’s debts if they were to unexpectedly become indebted.
A prenuptial agreement is also useful if you receive a gift or inheritance and want to ensure, for example, that a family cottage remains in your own family.

Is it true that if one spouse dies, the surviving spouse receives half of the deceased spouse’s property?

No. A spouse never inherits their deceased spouse if they have children. In this situation, the spouse’s inheritance rights can only be secured by a will.

However, if one spouse dies, the surviving spouse may receive an equalization payment based on marital rights. This requires that:

The surviving spouse owns less property than the deceased spouse; and
The spouses do not have a prenuptial agreement, or the prenuptial agreement states that it does not apply if the marriage ends due to the death of one spouse.

What happens if there is no prenuptial agreement?

When you get married, you and your spouse receive marital rights to each other’s property. Marital rights are realized when the marriage ends, either due to divorce or death, at which point the spouses’ marital rights and assets are calculated in the division of matrimonial property.

If there is no prenuptial agreement, both joint and individually owned property are taken into account in the division of matrimonial property. If either spouse owns business assets or has received gifts or inheritances, these are also taken into account in the division.

Can a prenuptial agreement be made after getting married?

A prenuptial agreement can be made before or during the marriage.
