Prenups: not just for the rich & famous anymore

In recent years, prenuptial agreements, once seen as the preserve of the super-rich, have been quietly on the rise in England. A 2022 survey by Direct Line revealed that nearly 1 in 5 marriages in the UK now involve some form of legal agreement around finances before walking down the aisle.

As people marry later in life, often bringing property, savings, businesses or even children from previous relationships, the idea of a prenuptial agreement has moved from taboo to practical.

So what exactly is a prenup? Why are more people considering one? And can they be designed to evolve with a relationship over time?
