Limited community of property

If you are an entrepreneur who married after 1 January 2018 without a prenuptial agreement, the limited community of property regime applies to you. However, it is advisable for an entrepreneur to establish a prenuptial agreement with his or her future spouse or registered partner.

If you married before 1 January 2018 and did not draw up a prenuptial agreement, the previous statutory regime still applies—namely, the general community of property.

Associations and foundations

As a board member, you are committed to your association or foundation. It is therefore important to stay informed of current developments so you can respond appropriately to changes and take advantage of opportunities.
