A Marriage Settlement Agreement is a crucial legal instrument under Danish law that enables couples to customize their property relations either before or during marriage. This document becomes particularly important when couples wish to deviate from the default community property regime established by Danish law, or when there are significant assets, international elements, or business interests involved. The agreement must be drafted in compliance with the Danish Marriage Act (Ægteskabsloven) and the Property of Spouses Act (Retsvirkningsloven), and requires mandatory registration with the Danish Personal Registry to be legally effective. It typically includes detailed provisions about asset division, inheritance rights modifications, pension rights, and treatment of future acquisitions. The agreement is especially relevant for couples with substantial assets, international connections, or complex financial arrangements.
