Marrying "In Community of Property" is the default in South Africa, but it is also the riskiest. By registering an Antenuptial Contract (ANC) with Louwrens Koen Attorneys, you choose a marriage Out of Community of Property—securing your financial independence and protecting your assets.
The Strategic Benefits of an ANC:- Debt Protection: You are never liable for your spouse’s debts—whether incurred before or during the marriage.
- Business Security: If you own a business, an ANC creates a legal wall that prevents business creditors from seizing your spouse’s home or savings.
- Insolvency Safeguard: Your personal assets remain 100% safe if your spouse faces sequestration or financial failure.
- Financial Freedom: You can enter into commercial transactions, buy property, or sign contracts without needing your spouse’s written consent.
- Asset Exclusions: Keep pre-marital assets, future inheritances, or family trusts entirely separate from the marital estate.
