A Binding Financial Agreement (BFA), commonly known as a ‘prenuptial agreement’, is a legal document that allows couples (or former couples) to make clear decisions about how assets and financial support will be handled. BFAs can be established before a relationship or marriage, during a relationship, or after separation, providing certainty and protection when it matters most.
While some couples can reach agreements on their own, complex financial situations or sensitive circumstances often require experienced legal guidance. At Bentleys Law, we regularly assist individuals and families with negotiating and preparing BFAs that reflect their specific needs and circumstances.

For a BFA to be legally valid and enforceable, it must meet strict legal requirements. Most importantly, each party must receive independent legal advice about what the agreement means, its benefits and risks, and how it affects their legal rights. Each lawyer must then certify that this advice has been provided. This requirement protects both parties and ensures the agreement will stand up in court if needed.
Every relationship is different, and the circumstances surrounding financial agreements can be personal and complex. Our experienced family lawyers take the time to understand your situation, provide clear advice, and guide you through the process with care and discretion.
