Overview

Tate, Nolan & Knight celebrated its 20th birthday in 2009 and has a proud history of helping our clients solve their legal issues and walking beside them as they take some of the most important steps in their lives.  We specialise in most areas of legal practice and one of our core values is building relationships with our clients.

It is a fact - people do business with people that they know, like and trust. Our longevity has been underpinned by that philosophy.

We pride ourselves on service excellence, and we specialise in the drawing up of antenuptual contracts.

An antenuptial contract is also known as a prenuptial contract or 'prenup'. And, is a contract entered into by two people, prior to their marriage, to stipulate the terms and conditions for the exclusion of community of property between them. This will ensure that one person's creditors cannot hold the other person liable for repayment of debt - unlike when people marry without an antenuptial contract, i.e. 'in community of property'.

The antenuptial contract may also include almost any terms and conditions as long as they are not illegal, immoral or contrary to public policy. Most of these terms and conditions relate to the division of assets should the marriage be dissolved because of either death or divorce. During the marriage each spouse will retain his or her separate property and would have complete freedom to deal with that property as he or she chooses.
