We are delighted to have recently launched 'With you on your journey through life' - these videos, featuring our team, explain how we can support you and your family through every milestone in life.

Prenups, postnups and why they are not just for the rich and famous

In our latest video, our lawyers explore the benefits of putting prenups and postnups in place:

Prenuptial agreements are often used to protect your existing assets when you marry or enter into a civil partnership.

Postnuptial agreements can be useful if your financial situation changes in some way – perhaps because of a windfall, business restructuring or career changes.

Alison McKee and Philippa Abernethy advise that prenups and postnups are not the preserve of the rich and famous, but useful agreements that many couples would be wise to consider.

The modern family

In our first video our team talked about the 'modern family':

Modern family structures can be complex and there can be differences in how relationships are considered when it comes to legal matters.

Whether you are moving in with a partner, getting married again and want to protect your children from a previous relationship, planning for your family after you've gone, or are unsure of what rights your former partner may have to your estate, we can help.

Alison McKay and Nina Taylor explain how a simple conversation can keep things on the right track for your family.

Over the series we'll be discussing a wide range of topics including:

why prenups and postnups are not just for the rich and famous, as well as exploring the benefits of putting them in place
the myths and misconceptions around marriage and living together and why couples are wise to be aware of the impact of the decisions they make together
Wills and Powers of Attorney being documents most of us would rather not consider but by doing just that you can help ease the strain on your family during difficult circumstances
the value of separating in as respectful as way as possible to make it significantly less painful and stressful
