Key principles of prenuptial agreements in the Netherlands
What a prenuptial agreement is and what it does
O se maliega a'o le'i faaipoipo (e masani ona ta'ua o le maliega a'o le'i faaipoipo) o se konekarate faaletulafono between two people before or during marriage. It determines how you and your partner will handle property, assets, debts, and financial responsibilities throughout your marriage and if you divorce.In the Netherlands, a prenup serves two main functions. The primary function is to set rules for managing capital and wealth during your marriage.The secondary function addresses what happens to your assets after the marriage ends, whether through divorce or death. You must work with a civil notary to create a prenuptial agreement in the Netherlands.An advocaat cannot draw up or execute one: the deed is the exclusive preserve of the civil-law notary, who is required by law to remain impartial between the two of you. The notary has a legal duty to explain the agreement and its consequences to both parties.If they fail to do this, they may face disciplinary action or have to pay damages. The agreement is valid once it has been executed as a notarial deed. Entry in the matrimonial property register (huwelijksgoederenregister) is a separate step with a separate purpose: it does not affect validity between the spouses, but without it the agreement cannot be relied on against third parties who were unaware of it (art. 1:116 BW).Historical context and legal basis
Which international instrument governs your matrimonial property depends on when you married. For marriages concluded on or after 29 January 2019, Regulation (EU) 2016/1103 on matrimonial property regimes applies in the Netherlands. Marriages concluded between 1 September 1992 and 28 January 2019 remain governed by the 1978 Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Matrimonial Property Regimes. Older marriages fall under the rules that preceded it.Under Dutch law, you can choose between three standard models outlined in the Dutch Civil Code. You can also create your own arrangements with certain limitations.Both parties must disclose all assets and liabilities before signing a prenup. Historically, the Netherlands operated under an absolute community of property system.This meant all property automatically became jointly owned by both spouses upon marriage, regardless of when you acquired it. Many couples included terms stating that all property would remain separately owned except for the marital residence and its contents.O a suiga i le aso 1 o Ianuari 2018

O le faiga fou masani o le fa'atapula'aina o meatotino, lea na suia ai le faiga masani o meatotino sa iai muamua.

E ofoina atu e Netherlands ni filifiliga eseese e fuafua ai le auala e pulea ai aseta ma aitalafu i le taimi o le faaipoipoga ma vaevaeina pe a tete'a. E mafai e ulugalii ona filifili i le va o le umiaina atoa o meatotino a le nuu, meatotino fa'atasi fa'atapula'aina, po'o le tete'a atoa e ala i se maliega a'o le'i faaipoipo.General community of property versus limited community of property
Before 1 January 2018 the default was the lautele lautele o meatotino (algehele gemeenschap van goederen): everything each spouse owned, and every debt each had, merged into a single estate on the day of the marriage. That regime still governs marriages concluded before that date unless the spouses have changed it since, so it remains the position for a great many Dutch couples.For marriages concluded on or after 1 January 2018 the default is the alalafaga utiuti o meatotino (beperkte gemeenschap van goederen). Three categories stay outside the community by operation of law: what each spouse owned before the marriage, gifts, and inheritances. What is acquired during the marriage, and the debts incurred during it, falls into the community and is shared in equal halves when it is dissolved (art. 1:100 BW). A pisinisi owned before the marriage therefore stays with the spouse who owned it, although the compensation the community may be owed for the labour and capital that went into that business during the marriage is a frequent source of argument.The point that is most often missed is that you do not need a prenuptial agreement to obtain the limited community. It applies automatically. What an agreement does is depart from it, either by narrowing the community further or by widening it, for instance by bringing the marital home into it deliberately.There is one practical condition attached to all of this. Keeping private property private requires being able to prove what was private. Where the origin of an asset cannot be established, Dutch law treats it as belonging to the community, so the spouse who kept no records is the one who loses the argument. Drawing up an inventory of what each of you brings in, whether or not you make an agreement, is worth more in a later dispute than most clauses.Exclusion of community of property
Faatumu le fa'atagaina o le fa'alapotopotoga o meatotino means each spouse retains full ownership of their individual assets and debts. Nothing becomes jointly owned automatically during the marriage.Each person manages their own financial affairs independently. This regime requires a notarial prenuptial agreement before or during marriage.Court approval is no longer required: the rule that an agreement made or amended during the marriage needed the approval of the district court was abolished on 1 January 2012, so the notarial deed and its registration are enough. Many couples who choose this option still designate specific assets for umia fa'atasiE masani ona avea le fale o le ulugalii ma mea o loʻo i totonu ma meatotino e faʻasoa tusa lava pe tumau pea isi aseta eseese. E mafai ona e faʻatulagaina le maliega e fetaui ma lou tulaga tau tupe ma au sini.Settlement clauses (verrekenbedingen)

A civil notary (notaris) is required by Dutch law to create your prenuptial agreement. You cannot draft a valid prenuptial agreement yourself or with only a lawyer’s help.The notary ensures the legal contract meets all formal requirements and explains the consequences of your choices. The notary provides impartial advice to both parties.They explain different marital property regimes available in the Netherlands and help you understand how each option affects your financial situation. This professional guidance protects both partners from entering an agreement they do not fully understand.You may also hire separate lawyers to represent your individual interests. Whilst not legally required, independent legal counsel helps ensure the agreement reflects your specific wishes.Lawyers can review the draft before you sign it and advise on potential issues.Notarial deed and registration

A prenuptial agreement cannot settle tausiga taitoalua in advance. Article 1:400 of the Dutch Civil Code renders void any agreement by which a person gives up a statutory maintenance entitlement before it has arisen, and that is precisely what a maintenance clause in huwelijkse voorwaarden sets out to do. Couples regularly arrive with a draft containing such a clause; it will not hold.Why maintenance sits outside the agreement
Maintenance between former spouses is a statutory duty grounded in the marriage itself (art. 1:157 BW). It is assessed on the facts as they stand at the divorce: what one spouse needs, what the other can pay, and how the marriage shaped both positions. Those facts are unknowable when a prenuptial agreement is signed, which is why the legislature refuses to let them be bargained away in advance.The moment at which maintenance can validly be agreed is the divorce itself. In a divorce settlement agreement (echtscheidingsconvenant) the spouses may fix the amount and the duration, and may agree that the arrangement will not be open to later variation, provided that intention is expressed unmistakably. Even then a court can set the clause aside where a change of circumstances of so exceptional a kind occurs that the payer cannot in fairness be held to it, but the threshold is deliberately high.Duration under the current law
For divorce petitions filed on or after 1 January 2020, tausiga runs for half the length of the marriage, subject to an overall ceiling of five years. Three exceptions extend that period: a long marriage where the recipient is approaching state pension age, a long marriage where the recipient was born before a date fixed in the transitional rules, and a marriage with children, where the entitlement runs at least until the youngest turns twelve. A court may extend the period further where ending it would be unreasonably harsh.Because those rules are statutory, an agreement made before the marriage cannot shorten them, and a court will not give effect to an attempt to do so. What the agreement can do is shape the financial position from which maintenance is later calculated, which is why the property arrangements and the maintenance question are connected in practice even though they are separate in law.Pension rights follow their own regime
Pension rights accrued during the marriage are not divided under the matrimonial property rules at all. They fall under the Pension Rights Equalisation Act (Wet verevening pensioenrechten bij scheiding), under which each spouse is in principle entitled to half of the old-age pension the other built up during the marriage, whatever property regime applies.Spouses may depart from that, and huwelijkse voorwaarden are one of the places where they are permitted to do so, but the departure has to be explicit: a general exclusion of community of property does not by itself exclude pension equalisation. If the pension provider is to pay the equalised share directly rather than leaving the spouses to settle between themselves, it must be notified within the period the Act prescribes.International and special situations
E aloaia e Netherlands maliega a’o le’i faaipoipo mai fafo i lalo o ni tuutuuga faapitoa. Pa'aga resitalaina and cohabitation agreements operate under different legal frameworks.Which country’s law governs your matrimonial property turns on the date of the marriage, and for marriages from 29 January 2019 onwards on Regulation (EU) 2016/1103 rather than on the older Hague Convention. That question decides how faaipoipoga i tuaoi and their property arrangements are treated.Foreign prenuptial agreements and recognition
Foreign prenuptial agreements can be valid in the Netherlands if they meet certain formal requirements. Your agreement will be recognised if it complies with either the domestic law applicable to your marital property regime or the law of the place where you signed the agreement.For marriages concluded from 29 January 2019 the framework is Regulation (EU) 2016/1103. It allows the spouses to choose the law of a state of which either is a national or in which either is habitually resident, and requires that choice to be in writing, dated and signed by both. For earlier marriages the 1978 Hague Convention performs the same function on similar lines. A Dutch court will generally give effect to an agreement made abroad, provided the instrument applicable at the time was observed.You should work with local counsel in both countries when creating an international prenuptial agreement. This ensures your agreement complies with legal requirements in all relevant jurisdictions.The notary or legal adviser must verify that your foreign agreement doesn’t conflict with Dutch public policy or mandatory legal protections.Registered partnerships and cohabitation agreements

E tatau lava ona e faamaumauina lau faatulagaga i le tusitusiga ma faafou pe a suia ou tulaga.Which law governs a cross-border marriage
Two instruments share this ground, divided by the date of the marriage. Marriages concluded on or after 29 January 2019 fall under Regulation (EU) 2016/1103; marriages concluded between 1 September 1992 and 28 January 2019 fall under the 1978 Hague Convention. Each determines which country’s law applies to your matrimonial property where your life touches more than one jurisdiction.You can choose which law applies to your property regime when creating your prenuptial agreement, subject to certain limitations. The choice must be express and must satisfy the formal requirements of whichever instrument applies to you.Without a choice of law, default rules take over. Under the Regulation the first connecting factor is the spouses first common habitual residence after the marriage, failing which their common nationality, failing which the state with which they are most closely connected. The Convention works from a similar but not identical ladder, which is why two couples who married a few weeks apart can find themselves under different law. Dutch courts apply these international regulations when handling divorce cases with foreign elements.Your property division may be governed by foreign law even if the divorce occurs in the Netherlands.Fa'ata'ita'iga sili ma fa'alavelave masani

Dutch law does not require each spouse to have separate sui faaletulafono; the notary acts for both of you and owes you both a duty to explain what you are signing. Where the interests are far apart, however, taking your own advice alongside the notary is sensible, and it makes the agreement harder to attack afterwards.An adviser of your own will check that the draft protects your interests and will spot provisions a court would refuse to apply, such as attempts to fix tausiga o tamaiti or custody in advance.These matters fall outside the scope of prenuptial agreements under Dutch tulafono a le aiga. Professional guidance helps prevent invalid provisions and improper execution.Execution itself is the notary’s responsibility: identification of both parties, reading of the deed and signature in the notary’s presence. No witnesses are required. Mistakes at this stage can render the agreement void, and a notary who fails in the duty to inform can be held liable for the loss that follows.Soo fesili

Your prenuptial agreement must be created as a notarial deed by a civil law notary. An advocaat cannot draw one up or register it.
The agreement must be signed by both you and your spouse. It must also be entered in the matrimonial property register, which is what makes it effective against third parties such as creditors.
