Marriage is not only an emotional bond but also a legal obligation that has significant consequences in terms of personal and asset obligations. Knowledge of the laws in this area is essential to protect one's interests and those of the family.
Marriage implies mutual rights and duties between spouses, which include cohabitation, moral and material support, and economic contribution according to their abilities.
The Firm supports clients in every aspect and issue related to married life, from drafting prenuptial agreements to managing asset regimes, offering targeted solutions to protect individual and family wealth.
Asset Regimes of Marriage
One of the most important decisions to make at the time of marriage concerns the asset regime. In Italy, the law provides for two main options:
- Community of property: all assets acquired during the marriage become jointly owned by both spouses.
- Separation of property: each spouse retains exclusive ownership of the assets acquired during the marriage.
The choice of asset regime can be made at the time of the marriage ceremony or later through a notarized deed.
Premarital and Asset Agreements
In our legal system, it is possible to prepare asset agreements that regulate in advance any economic aspects in the event of separation or divorce. These agreements are particularly useful to avoid future disputes and ensure a peaceful management of assets.
The Bianucci Law Firm assists its clients in drafting and reviewing such agreements, offering specific advice to better protect personal and family interests.
