In South Africa any person is automatically married "In Community of Property". This simply means that you will join all your assets with your spouses and in case of a divorce you will equally divide everything you brought into or build up during marriage. Hence the old saying "For richer and for poorer"This may sound very noble as it turns out it may not be as noble as once thought. Why? because life happens. People get ill or lose their employement and businesses go bankrupt. This is when you both run a major risk of losing all your assests Why? Because thats how "In Community of property" works!Read the following link - The implications of marriage in Community of PropertyNever look at the Marriage Contrcat as a divorce contrcat rather see it as a asset protection policy.Why an ANC? There is a common misconception that an Antenuptial Contract (“ANC”) is a Divorce Contract! The truth is that an ANC is a Marriage Contract that will help you to plan your marriage relationship together in a structured way based on a clear understanding from the start. It will also play a very important role in estate planning and asset protection to protect you as a couple together against the outside world. In case you are confused, “ante” comes from Latin meaning “before” so this is a “before marriage contract” – not an “anti” or “against marriage contract”! TWO TYPES OF ANCOUT OF COMMUNITY OF PROPERTY (If you choose to have a marriage contract) An ANC must be signed prior to the marriage ceremony for the marriage to be out of community of property. TWO TYPES OF MARRIAGE CONTRACT Out of community of property with accrual. Where there is equal sharing in what is built up during the marriage Who is it for? This type of marriage is perhaps the fairest system, and it is certainly the most popular choice. It is particularly suited to couples planning to have children because it recognises non financial contributions to the marriage (such as looking after a home and children). What we collect during the marriage is ours. What’s mine is mine; what’s yours is yours Out of community of property without accrual.Where there is no sharing Who is it for? A non-accrual ANC may be most appropriate where couples have already acquired most of their ultimate wealth, and there is not likely to be substantial gains during the course of the marriage to share. It is particularly suited to couples who do not wish to share in what is made during the marriage if the marriage ends.
