Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the 1995 marriage contract excluded any further matrimonial property claim regarding the X. Fund
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The contract had to be interpreted, and the courts found the spouses still intended the fund to be shared equally; the wife’s claim survived.
Extrahierte Begründung
The subjective intent of the parties, established from the circumstances and later conduct, showed that the 1991 separation agreement on equal division remained effective and was not amended by the 1995 marriage contract. The public deed’s wording was not conclusive where the apparent clarity was rebutted by the evidence.
