Document background
The Gay Marriage Prenuptial Agreement is a crucial legal document for same-sex couples planning to marry in England and Wales. It became particularly relevant following the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013, which legalized same-sex marriage. This agreement helps couples clearly define their financial arrangements before marriage, including the treatment of pre-marital assets, future acquisitions, and potential inheritance. It requires full financial disclosure from both parties and independent legal advice to be enforceable. The document should be prepared well in advance of the wedding date and can be particularly important for couples with significant assets, business interests, or complex financial arrangements.
