In Australia, prenuptial agreements—often called prenups,
but formally recognised as binding financial agreements
(BFAs)—aren't just dry legal paperwork.
They're a smart, strategic move for couples who want clarity
on what happens to their money and property if things don't go
to plan.
These agreements really shine when one or both partners are
likely to build wealth during the relationship. Think entrepreneurs
growing a startup, professionals on a steep income curve, or anyone
expecting a sizeable inheritance.
A prenuptial agreement and future assets go hand
in hand. A prenup lets you plan ahead and define exactly how
current and future assets in prenuptial agreements—like
businesses, real estate, shares, or superannuation—will be
handled if you separate down the track.
