Your questions, step by step
You want to move forward together. We calmly explain which agreements fit your family and what they mean for each of you.
Why do I go to the notaire for this?
The notaire explains what applies without a contract and which agreements suit your family. a marriage contract is necessary if you want to deviate from or supplement the statutory regime.
Do we need a marriage contract?
Make an overview of each person's assets, debts, professional risks and family.
Compare what the possible agreements mean in case of separation and death.
Discuss the draft together and sign the notarised deed.
How does this proceed and how long does it take?
If you want the contract to apply from the marriage, have it signed before the wedding day. Changing it later is also possible but requires a new evaluation and deed.
Inform us of your wedding date in good time.
Which documents should I provide to the notaire?
What does the notaire do and investigate?
- Which regime and which law apply now?
- What is own, what is communal and who carries the debts?
- What do the proposed agreements mean for partners and children?
- Which registration and tax consequences are involved?
We agree on which searches the office will conduct and which information you, your bank or another expert will provide.
What should I pay attention to before I sign?
Check what remains own, what becomes communal and who carries the debts. Ask what each arrangement means for the surviving partner and for children from a previous relationship.
Is a passage still unclear? Feel free to ask for an explanation with an example from your own situation. Only sign when you understand what you are agreeing to.
What else must I arrange afterwards?
The office ensures the required registration. Keep proof of own funds.
Have the contract reviewed when there are children, a business, a donation or a move abroad.
Which practical tips can help me?
Ask to explain your choice using your own home, savings and loan. This makes the consequences concrete.
What do these words mean?
- Matrimonial property regime
- the rules about ownership and debts between spouses.
- Community property
- the assets that, within the chosen system, belong jointly to both spouses.
- Separation of property
- a system in which each person essentially retains their own assets.
Where can I find more explanation or help?
You do not have to phrase your question in legal terms. Tell what concerns you, what you want to arrange and if an important date is approaching.
We will look together at the next step. We agree in advance on how the office will assist you and what costs are involved.
