At Prenuptial Agreement Solicitors, we provide specialist high-net-worth prenuptial agreement services for clients with combined or individual assets exceeding £3 million.
Why High Net Worth Individuals Need a Prenuptial Agreement
The higher the value and complexity of your asset portfolio, the greater the financial risk on divorce. If you own a primary residence, investment properties, a business interest, substantial pension assets, or a significant investment portfolio, a prenuptial agreement provides the legal clarity and asset protection you need before entering married life.
High net worth prenuptial agreements are particularly important where:
- One or both parties hold pre-marital assets such as property, business interests, or investments they wish to ring-fence from equal division
- You are expecting or have already received a substantial inheritance and wish to preserve it as non-matrimonial property
- You or your partner own a privately held business requiring protection from valuation disputes and forced sale on divorce
- You hold offshore assets, international property, or cross-border financial interests across multiple jurisdictions
- You have complex pension arrangements, including SIPPs, defined benefit schemes, or significant pension funds
- Either party has children from a previous relationship with a legitimate interest in protecting their financial future
- Your combined assets include luxury assets such as art collections, classic cars, or rare collectables
Under the Supreme Court’s 2025 Standish v Standish decision, courts now afford stronger protection to clearly documented non-matrimonial assets. A well-executed prenuptial agreement, supported by full financial disclosure and independent legal advice, significantly strengthens the legal classification of pre-marital and inherited wealth.
Our Expertise in High Net Worth Prenuptial Agreements
Our specialist solicitors have extensive experience advising high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals on prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, including those with complex, cross-border asset structures. Whilst many of our cases involve assets held within England and Wales, we also advise clients with international property portfolios, offshore investments, and interests across multiple jurisdictions — areas that require particular care to ensure the agreement is enforceable in every relevant jurisdiction.
We also advise on the likely effect of a prenuptial agreement entered into overseas if you subsequently move to England and Wales, and can advise on postnuptial agreements where circumstances have changed since your original agreement was signed.
What Our High Net Worth Prenuptial Agreement Service Includes
Our £1,800 fixed fee service covers everything required to produce a legally sound, court-ready prenuptial agreement:
- A solicitor-drafted prenuptial agreement tailored to your specific assets, circumstances, and objectives
- Professional legal advice on the implications of entering into a prenuptial agreement under English family law
- Guidance on the matrimonial and non-matrimonial property distinction and how your assets are likely to be classified on divorce
- Advice on clauses protecting business interests, inherited wealth, pension assets, and pre-marital property
- Comprehensive financial disclosure schedules listing the income and assets of both parties at the point of signing
- Initial amendments to the agreement until both parties are satisfied
- Arranging for the correct execution and witnessing of the agreement
- Secure physical storage of the original legal contract
How Much Does a High Net Worth Prenuptial Agreement Cost?
Our High Net Worth Prenuptial Agreement Service is priced at a fixed fee of £1,800 — primarily designed for clients with assets valued above £3 million. High street family law solicitors typically charge between £10,000 and £30,000+ for a prenuptial agreement involving complex, high-value assets.
Prenuptial Agreements as a Long-Term Asset Protection Strategy
A prenuptial agreement should not be viewed as a one-time document. As your financial circumstances evolve — whether through property acquisition, business growth, inheritance, or the arrival of children — your agreement should be reviewed and updated accordingly. We recommend revisiting your agreement every five years, at which point any updates will take the form of a postnuptial agreement, which carries equivalent weight before the English and Welsh family courts.
Both prenuptial and postnuptial agreements require:
Full and frank financial disclosure from both parties at the time of signing
Independent legal advice for each party from separate solicitors
Execution at least 28 days before the wedding to avoid any suggestion of duress or undue pressure
Fair provision for both parties, particularly in respect of any children
When these conditions are satisfied, English courts will give substantial weight to the agreement when determining financial provision on divorce, providing you with the maximum possible certainty over the outcome of any future financial settlement proceedings.
