Document background
The Basic Prenup Agreement under Belgian law serves as a fundamental legal instrument for couples planning to marry in Belgium or subject to Belgian jurisdiction. This document becomes particularly relevant when future spouses wish to deviate from the default matrimonial property regime in Belgium, especially following the significant reforms implemented in 2018. A Basic Prenup Agreement typically includes provisions for property classification, management rights, and dissolution arrangements, all while ensuring compliance with Belgian notarial requirements and mandatory legal provisions. The agreement must be executed before a Belgian notary public and can be modified only through specific legal procedures. It's essential for couples with existing assets, expected inheritances, or those seeking clarity in their financial arrangements during marriage.
