Document background
The Prenup With Accrual is a specialized form of prenuptial agreement used in Canadian jurisdictions that combines asset protection with wealth-sharing principles. This document is particularly suitable for couples who wish to maintain separate property rights while allowing for fair distribution of wealth accumulated during marriage. It's commonly used when one or both parties enter marriage with significant assets, business interests, or expected inheritances, but want to ensure their future spouse can benefit from joint financial success. The agreement must comply with provincial family law requirements and typically includes comprehensive financial disclosure, detailed accrual calculation methodologies, and provisions for various asset classes. This document type is especially relevant in provinces like Quebec where similar concepts exist in civil law, but can be adapted for common law provinces. The agreement requires careful drafting to ensure enforceability and typically includes certificates of independent legal advice from both parties' lawyers.
