Question 1

Wat is 'n huweliksvoorwaardekontrak (HVK)?

Accepted Answer

An ante-nuptial contract (ANC) is a legally binding agreement signed before marriage that determines how assets and liabilities are managed during the marriage and in the event of dissolution. Without an ANC, couples are automatically married in community of property, meaning shared ownership of all assets and liabilities.

Question 2

What are the three marital regimes OAK Law advises on?

Accepted Answer

OAK Law guides couples through all three recognised South African marital regimes: in community of property (the default if no ANC exists — all assets and debts shared), out of community of property without accrual (completely separate estates), and out of community of property with accrual (separate estates during marriage, but growth shared proportionally at dissolution).

Question 3

Why do business owners need an ante-nuptial contract?

Accepted Answer

Without an ANC, a spouse can legally claim half of business assets in the event of divorce. A properly drafted ANC ring-fences business assets, protects company equity from spousal liability, improves access to financing, and ensures corporate structures remain stable regardless of personal relationship changes.

Question 4

When must an ante-nuptial contract be signed?

Accepted Answer

An ANC must be signed before the wedding. It requires notarial execution and registration at the Deeds Office. Once married without an ANC, changing your marital regime requires a costly High Court application — making pre-marriage planning essential.
