A contract signed prior to marriage that establishes the distribution of assets, debts, and financial rights in the event of separation, divorce, or death. It defines separate and joint property, the matrimonial property regime (for example: separation of assets or participation), spousal support, asset management, and the liquidation of assets. It may address business interests, inheritances, and dispute resolution methods (mediation/arbitration). To be valid, the agreement must be entered into voluntarily and signed by both parties, with full disclosure of assets and independent legal advice; its validity may depend on local formalities.
