Abstract:     
In this chapter I analyse the Belgian marital contract of separation of property, both civil law and tax aspects, including several issues such as: Strict separation of property and separation of property with corrective mechanisms such as an Added Community or a Participation Clause. The latter comes in many variations, limited or not to marital gains, optional or not.

The analysis also touches upon the qualification of the clause as a marital advantage that cannot be added to the hereditary mass for calculating forced heirship rights.

It concludes with a tax analysis and with a comparison of the benefits of such clause compared with a community property contract.
