Prenuptial agreement
A prenuptial agreement states which property is to be separate if the marriage is dissolved. With Contractik you create it on your phone, before or during the marriage, and get it as a PDF.
Suitable for
- Couples getting married and couples who are already married
- Real estate, businesses, bank assets, securities, vehicles and other property as separate property
What the agreement contains
- Both spouses: name, personal identity number, address, phone and email
- Wedding date, if you are already married
- Which property is to be separate for each spouse: tenant-owned apartment/real estate, shares in a limited company, bank and savings accounts, securities and funds, vehicles and other assets
- General terms (see below)
- Signatures of both spouses
Registration with the Swedish Tax Agency
A prenuptial agreement must be registered with the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket). Skatteverket requires the original agreement, signed and dated by both of you, and charges a fee. We recommend checking with Skatteverket which requirements apply before you send it in.
Sign in person or remotely
Both sign directly on the phone, send a signing link by email, or print the agreement and sign on paper. Someone who receives a link does not need the app.
General terms included+
These are the terms included in the Contractik agreement. "Above" refers to the details you fill in in the agreement.
- The prenuptial agreement aims to regulate the financial relationship between the parties.
- Matrimonial property consists of the assets not stated as separate property above. The agreement may be of particular importance for the distribution of inheritance if either spouse has children from a previous relationship.
- Assets included in the prenuptial agreement remain separate property upon separation.
- Debts remain separate unless otherwise agreed.
- Tenancy rights/property can be agreed as separate or joint property.
- Future acquisitions may be exempted from matrimonial property according to agreement.
- Business ownership is protected as separate property upon separation.
- Maintenance is regulated by law regardless of the prenuptial agreement.
- Pensions and insurances may be agreed separately.
- The prenuptial agreement only applies to marriage and has no effect during cohabitation prior to the wedding. Cohabitation is instead governed by the Swedish Cohabitees Act.
- Amendments to the agreement must be made in writing, dated, and signed by both spouses. Witnesses are not required by law but are recommended to prevent future disputes.
- The prenuptial agreement must be registered with the Swedish Tax Agency to be fully valid. If it is stated above that the spouses are already married and the agreement is submitted to the Swedish Tax Agency within one month of the wedding, it applies from the wedding date; otherwise it applies from the date the Swedish Tax Agency receives it.
- In the event of death, inheritance rights apply according to law.
- The prenuptial agreement ceases upon invalidation or a new marriage agreement.
