Frequently asked questions

Can prenuptial agreements be made under Swiss law?

Yes, but its meaning differs from what is commonly understood in Anglo-Saxon countries. Swiss law recognizes two types of prenuptial agreements :

• The first type is statutory, allowing spouses to choose from three matrimonial property regimes established by Swiss law.

• The second type, based on case law, allows spouses to make binding pre-arrangements about divorce effects under specific conditions.
