What Does an Antenuptial Contract Without Accrual Mean in South Africa?
When planning your marriage, understanding your financial rights and responsibilities is essential. In South Africa, one important legal tool for this purpose is the antenuptial contract without accrual. This type of marital contract defines how assets and liabilities are managed between spouses throughout the marriage.
At Burger Huyser Attorneys, we specialise in drafting clear and enforceable antenuptial contracts that protect your interests.
What Does an Antenuptial Contract Without Accrual Mean in South Africa?
An antenuptial contract without accrual means that each spouse’s estate remains completely separate during the marriage and upon divorce or death. Unlike the accrual system, which shares the growth of marital assets, the no accrual system keeps each spouse’s property and debts independent.
Key aspects include:
- Separate estates: All assets and liabilities remain individual property.
- No sharing of increases: No claim on any growth in the other spouse’s estate.
- Asset protection: Ideal for protecting family businesses, inheritances, or pre-marriage wealth.
This contract is commonly used when spouses want to avoid the complexity of dividing jointly accrued assets after divorce or death.
