Final settlement clause

A clause in prenuptial agreements that regulates settlement at the end of the marriage.

A final settlement clause is a provision in prenuptial agreements that prescribes that at the end of the marriage (through divorce or death) the spouses' assets are settled as if there had been a community of property. The difference from a periodic settlement clause is that the final clause only takes effect at the end of the marriage. Note: sometimes the final settlement clause only applies upon death and not upon divorce.

Thanks to the final settlement clause, the divorce settlement was as if there had been a community of property.
