Antenuptial Contract (ANC) Services

An Antenuptial Contract (ANC) is a crucial legal agreement entered into by parties before marriage, outlining the division of assets and liabilities in the event of divorce or death. This agreement can also determine whether the marriage is in community of property or out of community of property, with or without accrual. At Vermeulen Attorneys, we provide a full suite of services to assist you in navigating the complexities of drafting and registering an ANC.

Why an Antenuptial Contract is Important

An ANC allows you to secure your financial future by clearly defining the legal framework of your marriage. Without an ANC, your marriage will automatically be considered in community of property, which means you and your spouse will share assets and liabilities equally, regardless of whose name they are in. If you prefer to maintain financial independence and protect your assets, an ANC is essential.

Our Antenuptial Contract Services

At Vermeulen Attorneys, we offer comprehensive services related to the preparation and execution of Antenuptial Contracts, including:

1. Consultation

We provide a detailed consultation to discuss your unique situation and advise on the most appropriate marital regime for your needs. This includes a clear explanation of the options available to you, such as out of community of property with or without accrual, to ensure you are fully informed before proceeding.

2. Legal Advice

Our attorneys offer expert legal advice on the implications of the chosen marital regime. We ensure that you understand the financial and legal consequences of your ANC, including how your assets, liabilities, and potential accrual will be handled during the marriage and in the event of a divorce or death.

3. Drafting of the Antenuptial Contract

We will draft a customized Antenuptial Contract based on your specific requirements, ensuring that it reflects your intentions and is in line with the applicable legal standards. Our team will work closely with you to tailor the contract to your individual financial and personal circumstances.

4. Notarization of the Antenuptial Contract

As part of our notarial services, the Antenuptial Contract will be properly notarized by our experienced Notary Public. This ensures the document’s legality and enforceability, as required by South African law.

5. Registration of the Antenuptial Contract

Once the Antenuptial Contract is drafted and notarized, we handle the registration of the ANC with the Deeds Office to ensure its legal effect. The registration process must be completed within three months of the date of notarization, and our team will ensure the timely and accurate submission of the contract to the relevant authorities.
