Marriage, Partnership & Family

Prenuptial agreements, partnership arrangements and settlements — a tailored legal framework for your situation.

Forming a life partnership is one of the most important decisions in life. Living together raises many questions worth considering — from the division of assets to security in old age.

Important questions

  • What happens to individual and to joint assets?
  • Should assets be acquired jointly or alone — and what are the tax consequences?
  • Am I liable for my partner's debts?
  • Am I financially secure in old age?
  • What rights and duties do I have regarding shared children?
  • What happens in the event of separation or death?

Prenuptial agreement

Whether marital, registered or non-marital — the answers differ greatly. The law allows individual arrangements. As an impartial adviser, the notary provides the necessary knowledge of the legal situation and offers a balanced contract.

Divorce & separation

In separation and divorce too, notarial agreements help find amicable and fair arrangements — e.g. on maintenance, equalization of gains and pension equalization. This avoids lengthy court disputes.

Parents & children

The notary is also the right contact regarding the relationship between parents and children, including questions of adoption.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we really need a prenuptial agreement?

Not necessarily — but it creates clarity, especially when one partner runs a business, significant assets exist or it is an international marriage. We advise whether and how a contract makes sense for you.

Can a prenuptial agreement be made after the wedding?

Yes. A marital agreement can be concluded at any time before or during the marriage and adapted to changed circumstances.

What is a divorce settlement agreement?

It settles the consequences of a separation amicably — e.g. maintenance, division of assets and pension equalization. This saves time, money and stress compared to a court dispute.
