The motivation for signing a contract should not be to prevent a party from getting a „slice of cake“.

If you have a property and/or investment portfolio, regardless of size or small, when you are single; or a previous relationship with a comparison or you have saved a good amount of money while single and buy a property with a new partner, then to protect what you bring in, you should seriously consider making a deal with any new relationship that has or is about to move on to the next important step of cohabitation. Some people use trusts for the same purpose as a contract. These can be considered by a court. However, recent cases have shown that the security of a trust is limited only for a contractual agreement. Parties must take into account their obligations to each other under the Family Protection Act. These obligations can be dealt with as part of the contract. For example, a life interest in the surviving spouse in the event of death is worth more than a share of the property. Each case must be considered on the basis of its facts. Contracting does not allow a party to do anything and is rather an instrument to make things right. The conclusion of a contractual agreement is a means of recognizing a new relationship with the intention of making that relationship work.

For a contract to be applicable, it must be fair. For such an agreement to be considered fair, it must be consistent with the principles of the Property (Relationships) Act. The usual problem with signing the contract is that a party may be prevented from giving its rights without knowing the consequences of signing the contract or what is owed to it under the law.
