Prenuptial Agreement — Word & PDF Template

This Prenuptial Agreement allows a couple intending to marry to record how their finances and assets should be treated, both during the marriage and if it breaks down. It is prepared for use in England and Wales and reflects the disclosure and independent-advice steps that help such agreements carry weight.

Who is this template for?

For couples planning to marry who wish to protect pre-marital or inherited assets, clarify financial expectations and reduce uncertainty — for example where one party owns a business, property or has children from a previous relationship.

What does the template include?

The agreement is organised into clearly numbered sections:

• Important Notice — the status of prenups and the need for legal advice.
• Parties — the intended spouses.
• Intended Marriage — details of the planned marriage.
• Financial Disclosure — each party’s assets and income.
• Pre-Marital Assets (Ringfencing) — protecting existing assets.
• Inherited and Gifted Assets — treatment of inheritances and gifts.
• Matrimonial Home — how the family home is dealt with.
• Financial Provision on Breakdown — division if the marriage ends.
• Maintenance — spousal maintenance arrangements.
• Review Clause — reviewing the agreement over time.
• Children — acknowledgement of children’s needs.
• Independent Legal Advice — confirmation each party took advice.
• Governing Law — England & Wales jurisdiction.
• Signatures — execution by the parties.

Easy to customise

The template works in Microsoft Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice. Fill in the highlighted fields, complete the financial disclosure and adjust the clauses; both parties should take independent legal advice before signing.
