A Matrimonial Agreement is a crucial legal document used in Denmark to establish or modify property rights and financial arrangements between spouses or prospective spouses. This document becomes relevant either before marriage (as a prenuptial agreement) or during marriage (as a postnuptial agreement). It allows parties to opt out of the default Danish marital property regime and create customized arrangements that better suit their circumstances. The agreement typically covers aspects such as property division, inheritance rights, pension arrangements, and business interests. It must comply with Danish law, particularly the Marriage Act and the Act on the Effects of Marriage, and requires proper registration with Danish authorities to be legally valid. The document is particularly important for couples with significant assets, business interests, or complex financial arrangements, as well as those entering second marriages or with children from previous relationships.
