Section 21 of the Property (Relationships) Act 1976 enables couples to contract out of the Act and enter into their own private agreement to determine the status, ownership and division of their property.
Our lawyers advise clients on the implications of entering into a Contracting Out Agreement and will draft or review agreements for them. Should circumstances later change, our team will review the agreement and make any necessary amendments.
