Post-nuptial agreements offer married couples the opportunity to manage their assets during the marriage; however, they raise questions regarding the status of assets acquired prior to the agreement’s execution. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of post-nuptial agreements concerning marital assets and their impact on legal certainty. A normative legal research method was employed, utilizing statutory and conceptual approaches alongside a qualitative analysis of existing regulations, Constitutional Court Decision No. 69/PUU-XIII/2015, and relevant legal literature. The findings indicate that marriage agreements may be drafted during the marriage based on mutual consent, provided they meet applicable legal requirements. Assets acquired prior to the agreement are generally considered marital property, and their status does not automatically change. The applicability of the agreement to pre-existing assets depends on the agreement’s terms and effective date, as well as the rights of third parties acting in good faith. Clarifying the scope of applicability is crucial for ensuring legal certainty and protecting the parties involved.
