Document background
Post Prenuptial Agreements in Switzerland are utilized when married couples wish to modify their existing matrimonial property arrangements or establish new ones after marriage. These agreements are particularly relevant for international couples, high-net-worth individuals, business owners, or those experiencing significant changes in financial circumstances. The document must comply with Swiss Civil Code requirements and typically requires notarization. It can address various aspects including property classification, asset division, business interests, inheritance rights, and international assets. Common triggers for creating a Post Prenuptial Agreement include inheritance receipts, business acquisitions, international relocations, or simply a desire to modify the existing property regime. The agreement must respect mandatory provisions of Swiss law while offering flexibility to accommodate specific needs of the parties.
