Document background
A Prenuptial Agreement is a crucial legal document for couples planning to marry in Hong Kong, particularly those with substantial assets, business interests, or complex financial arrangements. While Hong Kong law doesn't have specific legislation governing prenuptial agreements, courts generally respect these agreements if they are properly executed, with both parties receiving independent legal advice and making full financial disclosure. The document typically includes detailed provisions about separate and marital property, asset division, spousal support, and specific arrangements for business interests or inherited wealth. It's particularly important for high-net-worth individuals, family business owners, or those entering second marriages. The agreement must comply with Hong Kong legal principles and should be executed well in advance of the marriage to demonstrate absence of duress.
