How difficult is it to get an antenuptial (marriage) contract in Port Elizabeth (South Africa)

In Port Elizabeth it is a simple thing to get a antenuptial contract, also sometimes referred to incorrectly though, as a marriage contract. The antenuptial contract must be executed by a notary (specially qualified attorney).

Just last week I was phoned on a Monday for an urgent antenuptial contract because the couple had completely forgotten about getting it done and they were getting married on Saturday. Although, in theory one could sign the contract up to just before they actually legally get married, its less stressful to get it done well in advance. I arranged for a breakfast meeting and we designed a contract which would be best suited for their unique circumstances and it was signed two hours later.

In our practice an antenuptial contract can start as low as R1500.00 plus VAT and escalates with additional complexity. This cost includes an initial consultation, drafting of the documents and supporting documents, the signing of the documents and the fee to the Cape Town attorneys to register the contract at the Deeds Office, in Cape Town.
