Overview

Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming wedding!

The most important thing about your big day will be the promise that you make to the one you love in front of all the witnesses present. Although this will be the most beautiful day of your life, the legal implication of this big step should be crystal clear to both you and your betrothed.

An appointment with an attorney is not the most exciting part of organizing your wedding, but in order to have a financially secure future it is very important to know the legal position surrounding your choice. We aim to make this experience as pleasant as possible.

Your marriage will be In Community of Property if you marry without an antenuptial contract. To protect your assets from your spouse's creditors you must enter into an antenuptial contract before conclusion of the marriage.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse. A High Court application to change your marital status afterwards, will be costly and expose you to unnecessary risks.

We at VisagieVos Attorneys will explain the different matrimonial systems to you, assist you, after assessment, in choosing the right system as per your financial position, and draft an appropriate contract in the language of your choice.

As your legal status will change shortly, we also provide you with a new will and any related legal advice you should require,all inclusive of the contract fee.
