An antenuptial contract is a document that specifies whether your marriage will exist in community of property or out of community of property, with or without the accrual system, as governed by South African law.
An antenuptial contract protects both parties in a marriage. It caters to each couple’s unique needs to protect individual assets that they have accrued before the marriage, as well as what claim creditors may have to both parties assets in the unfortunate case of Financial misfortune or death.

In short, you share a joint estate with your spouse, which means that you are joint owners of all property. You also share all responsibility for debt.
Please note: If you don’t enter into any antenuptial contract, you are automatically married in community of property.
Both yourself and your spouse are the individual owners of their respective estates. Each party may individually own properties and are liable for their own debts.
