Document background
The Prenuptial Agreement After Marriage (postnuptial agreement) is a specialized legal document used in Austria when married couples wish to formally establish or modify their property rights and financial arrangements after their wedding has taken place. This document becomes particularly relevant when spouses need to address changes in their financial circumstances, protect business interests, manage inherited wealth, or establish clear terms for property division. Under Austrian law, such agreements must be notarized and comply with the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB) and the Austrian Matrimonial Property Act. The agreement typically covers aspects such as property division, maintenance obligations, pension rights, and inheritance provisions. It's essential for couples with significant assets, business interests, or complex financial arrangements, and can be especially valuable for international couples with assets in multiple jurisdictions.
