Marriage in community of property
Marriage in community of property has various serious legal consequences. For example, without an antenuptial contract, you are automatically married in community of property. As a result, you and your spouse are held responsible for each other’s debts, including those incurred before your marriage.
Antenuptial contract including the accrual system
Implementing the accrual system in your antenuptial contract allows you to exclude certain assets from your estate when your marriage ends.
Antenuptial contract excluding accrual
Excluding the accrual system as provided for in the Matrimonial Property Act in your antenuptial contract means both spouses continue to own their assets acquired individually before and after the marriage.
