Persons may prefer the said prenuptial agreements to be executed over a bank within the scope of the agreement services provided to them by their bank. There are various studies which execute savings of couples by means of a policy and envisage a mortgage product payment scheme for the couples getting divorced. However, there is no system for enabling bank customers to execute their prenuptial agreements on a blockchain network under the guarantee of their bank, in the state of the art. Considering the studies included in the state of the art, it is understood that there is need for a system which enables to execute articles of prenuptial agreements of bank customers by banks and to allocate the assets of customers in accordance with agreements in consequence of divorce by providing financial coaching for customers. The United States patent document no. US20090094170A1, an application in the state of the art, discloses a system for managing a plurality of investment accounts and allowing the automatic execution of financial plans. Management of a plurality of investment accounts that relate to planning for the financial needs of a phase of life or a major life event is provided in the inventive system. Asset allocation rules which may embody an investment strategy that may incorporate transfer advices, individual investment preferences, asset investment-performance metrics, financial advisor inputs, regulatory information, and so forth among the plurality of accounts are executed and managed. The said savings account managed in the inventive system can be an account related to a premarital agreement, an account related to a post-marital agreement, an account related to a living-together agreement. In one embodiment of the invention, a spigot may be directed at a divorce settlement or other division of assets.
