Document background
A Post Nup Agreement under Belgian law is utilized when married couples wish to modify their existing matrimonial property regime after marriage. This document becomes necessary in various situations, such as when spouses acquire significant assets, start businesses, receive inheritances, or need to adapt their property arrangements due to changed circumstances. The agreement must comply with the 2018 reform of Belgian matrimonial property law and requires notarial authentication. It typically includes comprehensive inventories of assets, detailed arrangements for property management, and specific provisions for debt allocation. The document must be registered with Belgian authorities and may have significant tax implications. Given Belgium's civil law system, the Post Nup Agreement must follow strict formal requirements and include specific mandatory declarations to ensure its validity and enforceability.
