By Elena Giannattasio, International Family Lawyer (New York & San Francisco), Multi-Jurisdictional Divorce, PLLC
Norwegian law allows prenuptial agreements (marriage settlements) that modify the default marital property system. Agreements must be written and may be registered with the Brønnøysund Register Centre to ensure protection against creditors and third parties.
Our Global Practice Perspective
For couples with Norwegian connections, registration is often strategically important because Norwegian law treats registered settlements as publicly accessible and binding on third parties. International families benefit from Norway’s clear procedural structure when managing cross-border assets.
From New York and San Francisco, international family lawyer Elena Giannattasio advises clients with cross-border family law matters involving Norway, providing advanced forum analysis and strategic coordination with trusted local counsel in Norwegian law and other relevant jurisdictions, as appropriate.
