There are three matrimonial property regimes:
- Marriage in community of property
- Marriage out of community of property
- Marriage out of community of property subject to the accrual system
If you get married without a marriage contract (an antenuptial contract or ‘ANC’), your marriage will automatically be in community of property. If you want to marry out of community of property, you need to go to a notary to create an ANC, which is then registered in the Deeds Office. If you enter into an ANC, your marriage will automatically follow the accrual system, unless you specifically exclude it in your contract. Remember to sign the ANC before your wedding.

What our clients say about us
“I recently re-married and required a fairly complicated Antenuptial Contract to suit the needs of both myself and my fiancé. My first thoughts were of endless meetings with attorneys, enormous time commitments and complicated processes and paperwork – with an expense outlay to match. Not a bit of it – if you use the online services of Bregman Moodley Attorneys. The use of their website turned out to be effortless, uncomplicated and easy on the back pocket. Their site is a model of ample explanation and easy understanding as it details the varying marriage contract options available, enables the automated acquisition of the specific contract desired and even generates a Power of Attorney to enable Bregmans to lodge the paperwork with a Notary and at the Deeds Office. The Marriage Contract particulars are populated from an easily completed template which includes a list of assets that are to be excluded, in as much detail as needed. Once the online process was finished everything functioned like clockwork. The documents were sent to me for signature by all parties, a letter for the marriage officer was produced, everything was lodged at the Deeds Office and returned to me promptly. And to top matters I was able to do everything from the comfort of my desk with absolutely no need to interact with anyone – although the option of a face-to-face meeting was available. I would definitely commend the Bregmans online site to anyone interested in efficiency, professionalism and accessible support. Kevin Penwarden”
“My husband and I purchased our Antenuptial Contract through your website, and want to thank Bregman Moodley Attorneys for the professional service that we acquired! We can’t believe how simple, stress-free and efficient the online process was, and we are so grateful for the immediate attention we received on the placement of our order”
