Antenuptial Contracts in Cape Town
Cape Town is one of South Africa's most popular destinations for weddings, and securing an antenuptial contract before the big day protects both partners' financial futures. Our attorneys advise couples across the Cape Peninsula and the Western Cape on the right marital property regime, draft the ANC and attend to notarial signing and Cape Town Deeds Office registration — entirely online where that suits you.
No upfront commitment. Your consultation is a confidential, judgement-free conversation, online or in person.
Antenuptial Contracts for Cape Town clients
An antenuptial contract (ANC) sets out how your assets and liabilities are dealt with during your marriage and if it ever ends. Without one, you are automatically married in community of property, which means a single shared estate and shared debt. Our attorneys draft and register your antenuptial contract correctly, explain the difference between marrying with and without accrual in plain language, and make sure everything is signed before a notary and lodged in good time before your wedding date.
An antenuptial contract is a notarial deed and must be signed before a notary public before the marriage takes place. It is then registered at the Cape Town Deeds Office, located on Dorp Street in the Cape Town CBD, which serves the entire Western Cape under the Deeds Registries Act 47 of 1937. We handle the full process — drafting the contract, notarial execution and Deeds Office registration — for couples anywhere in the City Bowl, the Atlantic Seaboard, the Northern Suburbs and the Southern Suburbs. Couples based elsewhere in the Western Cape can complete the entire process online.
