Post and Prenup Agreement
Prenup and Postup Agreement: Your Peace of Mind
Navigating Indonesia marriage law requires local expertise. We provide meticulous drafting, notarization, and registration for Bali prenuptial agreements and post-marital contracts. Clients trust our Bali legal services to bridge the gap between international needs and local regulations. We ensure your Indonesian premarital agreement is fully enforceable, protecting assets and business interests with transparency, security, and cultural sensitivity.
Free ConsultationKey Features
Asset and Debt Separation
We draft clear terms to ensure that assets owned before the union remain private property. This also protects you from being liable for your partner’s individual debts.
Land Ownership Protection for Mixed Couples
Under local policy, Indonesian citizens can lose freehold land rights when marrying foreigners. We structure your agreement to secure these property rights legally.
Business Interest Safeguards
Ensure your company or startup remains your own. We create clauses that prevent business assets from becoming "joint property" during the marriage.
Inheritance and Gift Clarity
We define how future inheritances or family gifts are handled, ensuring they stay within your bloodline and are not subject to division.

Important Consideration
- Timing: A prenuptial agreement must be signed before the marriage is legally registered.
- Post-Marriage Options: If you are already married, the 2015 Constitutional Court ruling now allows for a postnuptial agreement to be made.
- Bilingual Requirements: For the document to be valid in Indonesia, it must be drafted in Bahasa Indonesia (or a bilingual format).
- Fairness: Agreements that are extremely one-sided or violate public “moral” policies may be challenged in court.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a prenup made in my home country valid in Bali?
Not automatically. To protect assets (especially land) in Indonesia, you must have an agreement that complies specifically with Indonesia marriage law and is registered with the local authorities.
Can we create an agreement if we are already married?
Yes. You can enter into a postnuptial agreement at any time during your marriage. This carries the same legal weight for asset separation as a prenup.
Why do I need a prenup for a mixed-national marriage in Bali?
Without one, the Indonesian spouse may lose the right to hold “Hak Milik” (Freehold) property, as the property would technically be partially owned by the foreign spouse, which is prohibited.
Does a prenup mean we don’t trust each other?
On the contrary; it shows a high level of mutual respect and transparency. It ensures that both partners are entering the marriage with a clear understanding of financial boundaries.
How long does the whole process take?
Typically, the entire process, from drafting to final registration, takes between 2 to 3 weeks, though the signing itself is very quick.
