We know this can be a sensitive issue and we know that the natural, positive response is to say that the relationship is fine and it’s never going to become an issue, but statistically one half of all New Zealand marriages end in divorce. The longer you leave it, the less likely you will be able to encourage and convince your partner to enter into and execute a ‘Contracting Out’ Agreement.
If you really do want to protect your family inheritances, gifts and pre-relationship property, the only way to effectively do this is by way of a ‘Contracting Out’ Agreement – the sooner the better!
Knowledge and taking action at the right time is the key. Now that you know how to most effectively protect yourself and your assets from a relationship property claim, don’t just stick your head in the sand!
