Why a contract?

If you marry without an ante-nuptial contract, your marriage will be In Community of Property and both spouses will own the matrimonial assets together in equal undivided shares.

This is not always the intention between the parties getting married and a High Court application to change your marital status will have to be lodged at court after marriage to change the Matrimonial system that applies to your marriage, which has a huge cost implication as well as transfer duty and transfer costs implications if there are immoveable properties involved.
