What to do if my antenuptial contract is invalid?
16 May 2018
My wife and I were married on 3 March 2017. Before we
entered into our marriage, we decided that it... was best for our matrimonial
property regime to be governed as one of out of community of property with
accrual. We then looked up a notary in the area and signed an antenuptial
contract on the 14 February 2017. We never heard anything more from the notary.
I am now seeking to buy a unit in an upcoming new scheme and the conveyancer
dealing with the property is asking for my antenuptial contract to confirm my
marital status as out of community of property. I have forwarded her my antenuptial
contract. To my surprise, she claims that the antenuptial contract is invalid. How
can this be, as I have signed before the date of my marriage in front of a notary
public and had the intention of my marriage being one out of community of
property?
