Safeguarding Your Expat Assets

At VERITAS, we’ve witnessed numerous occasions where expatriates have found themselves in distressing situations, seeking solace in our offices as their once promising relationships deteriorated into turmoil. These instances often result in both financial and emotional turmoil for the expat, leaving them vulnerable and devastated. While we acknowledge that we cannot shield members of our community from emotional pain, we are committed to providing assistance and guidance to mitigate potential risks.

One proactive measure we advocate for is the establishment of prenuptial contracts. These contracts serve as an immediate preventative plan, offering a layer of protection for your assets prior to marriage. It’s crucial to note that prenuptial agreements established outside the jurisdiction of the Philippine courts may not provide adequate protection for assets within the country. Therefore, it’s highly advisable to enter into a prenuptial agreement tailored to Philippine laws before tying the knot.

However, we understand that circumstances may change after marriage, necessitating additional measures to safeguard your interests. Our team of experienced attorneys is well-equipped to offer recommendations and strategies to protect your assets even after marriage. Whether it involves revisiting existing agreements, exploring legal avenues, or implementing alternative solutions, our legal experts are dedicated to assisting you in navigating the complexities of asset protection in marital relationships.

At VERITAS, we prioritize the well-being and security of our community members. By proactively addressing potential risks and seeking legal counsel when needed, we aim to empower expatriates to safeguard their assets and mitigate the emotional and financial toll of relationship breakdowns. Let us guide you through the process and provide the support you need to protect your interests effectively.
