Nigerian Prenuptial Agreement Services to Protect Your Future

A prenuptial agreement is a legal contract that helps couples decide on the division of property and assets before marriage. In Nigeria, many couples choose to create a prenup to secure their financial futures. It is not a sign of mistrust but a way to bring peace of mind by setting clear expectations in case the marriage ends.

What Is a Prenuptial Agreement?

Simply put, a prenuptial agreement is a binding contract signed by both parties before marriage. It details how assets and liabilities will be divided if the marriage dissolves. The agreement can also outline terms for spousal support and other financial matters. This clarity helps both partners feel secure as they start their new life together.

Is a Prenuptial Agreement Enforceable?

For a prenup to be enforceable in Nigeria, it must meet key requirements:

Both parties must fully disclose their assets and liabilities.
Each partner should have the opportunity to consult with their own lawyer.
The agreement should be presented well in advance of the wedding, giving both time to review the terms.

Failing to meet these conditions may lead to the agreement being set aside in court. With proper legal support, your prenup will be robust and protected against future challenges.

Do I Need an Attorney to Represent Me?

Whether you’re considering drafting a prenup or have received one from your partner, having an experienced attorney is crucial.
