Antenuptial gift – in the area of Family Law in some jurisdictions this term describes a gift, given by one spouse to the other before marriage. A synonym of the “antenuptial gift” is the term “prenuptial gift”, which means the same – of an asset, which one of the future spouses receives before the marriage (usually by their parents or by the other future spouse). Basically the role of such a gift is to separate the properties, owned by both spouses commonly and these assets, owned individually by each one.
