Under Alberta's Family Property Act, a property agreement between spouses or adult interdependent partners is generally only enforceable if it is in writing, signed by both parties, and each party has received independent legal advice from their own lawyer. An agreement that misses these formal requirements, or that was signed under pressure, without financial disclosure, or without understanding its consequences, can be challenged and set aside later, often at the worst possible time.
For business owners and professionals, the stakes are higher. An agreement that doesn't properly address corporate shares, retained earnings, or the growth of a business during the relationship can leave your most valuable asset exposed. We draft agreements designed to hold up: complete disclosure, clear terms, and proper execution.
Which Agreement Do You Need?
- Before or during a relationship, a prenuptial or cohabitation agreement sets out how property and support will be handled if the relationship ends, and can ring-fence a business, professional practice, or expected inheritance.
- After separation, a separation agreement resolves property division, support, and parenting in a binding contract, usually faster and at far lower cost than court.
- Asked to sign something?, independent legal advice is both a legal safeguard and, in most cases, a requirement for the agreement to be enforceable. Never sign a family agreement without it.
