The prenuptial contract, generally called intercyza in Polish (from Latin intercisa, "settlement") was drawn up in the office of a notary in the presence of the betrothed couple and their witnesses. It was a legal form regulating the personal and property relationship of the future spouses, and was in use throughout the territory of the Kingdom of Poland. These contracts were most often drawn up shortly before the wedding day, usually at the nearest notary’s office. Contracts between people getting married for the first time were, as a rule, negotiated by their parents or their legal guardians at the engagement stage.
