Document background
The Basic Prenup Agreement is a fundamental legal document used in Denmark by couples planning to marry who wish to establish clear property rights and financial arrangements different from the default matrimonial property regime. This document is particularly relevant when one or both parties bring significant assets to the marriage, own businesses, or wish to protect inherited or family assets. The agreement must comply with Danish legislation, particularly the Marriage Act (Ægteskabsloven) and the Act on the Legal Effects of Marriage (Retsvirkningsloven). It requires proper execution before a notary and registration in the Danish Personal Registry to be legally binding. The Basic Prenup Agreement typically includes provisions for property division, asset protection, and financial responsibilities, while allowing for customization based on the specific circumstances of the parties involved.
