THE TRUTH ABOUT COLOMBIAN PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS

PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS AND MARRITAL SOCIETY:

CONCEPT: According to Colombian civil law, the prenuptial agreement is the contract that man and wife sign before the marriage, in which they discuss the property of the assets bought during their union.

Requirements: To be valid, the PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS have to be done by public document, and if some clauses are against the moral or the law, they will not be accepted.

Once the couple has married, the PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS can not be revoked and they will force since the day of the celebration.

The PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS will describe the assets of each member of the couple and their value, plus the debts that every person has on his or her own.

As a lawyer, I do recommend that before getting married look for an legal advice to decide if it is secure to protect your assets for the future.

IMPORTANT: Prenuptial agreements have effect in Colombia before the nuptials , in case you got married and then you want prenuptial agreement in USA, they are considered as not valid.
