Contracting Out Agreements
Contracting out agreements, often called “pre-nups,” give couples certainty and protection by setting out how property will be managed if a relationship ends. We take the time to explain your relationship property position and help you plan what should happen to your assets in the event of separation or death. This may involve structuring property to be held jointly, separately, in a family trust, or through a relationship property agreement. With clear guidance and practical advice, we make the process straightforward, respectful, and tailored to your unique circumstances.

Our expertise covers every aspect of contracting out agreements, including:
Every relationship is different. We design agreements that fit your specific needs, whether you’re entering a new relationship or protecting long-held assets.
We ensure your assets — from homes and businesses to savings and family inheritances — are properly protected.
Our role is to help both parties feel comfortable and confident with the agreement, ensuring it’s legally sound and balanced.
We understand these discussions can be personal and delicate, so we provide thoughtful, respectful guidance every step of the way.
