De Wet – Van der Watt Inc. helps couples understand their matrimonial property options and prepares antenuptial contracts that reflect their circumstances and wishes.
An antenuptial contract determines how assets are treated during marriage and, if circumstances change, how they may be divided.
Without an antenuptial contract, couples are automatically married in community of property under South African law. De Wet – Van der Watt Inc. explains the available matrimonial property regimes and prepares agreements that reflect each couple’s circumstances and wishes.
A properly drafted antenuptial contract helps both parties begin their marriage with clarity and informed choices.
The process covers your initial consultation, choosing the appropriate matrimonial property regime, tailored drafting, signing before a notary and registration at the Deeds Office.
Discussing your circumstances, goals and wedding timeline.
Explaining marriage out of community of property, with or without accrual.
Preparing the antenuptial contract in line with your instructions.
