Terms of business

These terms apply to nuptial agreement services provided through Prenup.co.uk by Edward Young Notaries & Lawyers, 19 Wigmore Street, London W1U 1PH. Detailed terms are set out in the client care letter you receive when you instruct us; if there is any conflict, the client care letter prevails.

Who we act for

We act for one party to the agreement only. Your partner must obtain independent legal advice from a separate adviser. We cannot advise your partner, and nothing we say to them is advice.

Fees

Our fee for drafting and advising on the agreement is a fixed fee agreed before you instruct us and confirmed in writing. It includes a reasonable round of amendments with your partner's adviser. Notarisation, apostille, embassy legalisation, translations and courier charges are quoted separately. If work outside the agreed scope becomes necessary we will tell you before incurring any further cost. Fees are payable on completion of the agreement or as set out in the client care letter.

Your responsibilities

You agree to give full and honest financial disclosure and to tell us promptly of anything that may affect the agreement. The weight a court gives to a nuptial agreement depends on that disclosure.

No guarantee of outcome

Nuptial agreements in England & Wales are not automatically binding. We will draft your agreement to meet the standards the courts apply and the formal requirements proposed for qualifying nuptial agreements, but we cannot guarantee how a court, in England or abroad, will treat the agreement in future circumstances.

Regulation and insurance

Edward Young is a solicitor of the Senior Courts of England & Wales holding a current practising certificate, and a notary public regulated by the Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Professional indemnity insurance is maintained.

Cancellation

Where you instruct us at a distance you have a 14-day right to cancel. If you ask us to begin work within that period you will be charged for the work done up to cancellation.
