What couples ask before they start: our two packages, your solicitor, your partner's part, signing, and your data. For the law in general, see our prenup guides.
Couples in England & Wales who are engaged or about to form a civil partnership. It works the same way for same-sex and opposite-sex couples, and you tell us whether the agreement is for a marriage or a civil partnership.
How your property, savings, pensions, business interests, inheritances and gifts, and debts would be treated if the marriage ended: what each of you brings in, and what you build up together.
What it can't do is override a court's duty to provide for the reasonable needs of both of you and any children, and arrangements for children are always decided in their best interests at the time. See our guide to what to include in a prenup.
Not automatically: no prenup is, in England & Wales. But since Radmacher v Granatino (2010) a court should give effect to an agreement each of you entered freely, fully understanding what it means, unless it would be unfair to hold you to it.
Our process is built around what a court looks for: full disclosure from each of you, independent advice, and signing well before the wedding. Our guide explains whether prenups are legally binding in the UK in full.
Your details and your partner's, and a picture of what you each own and owe:
Rough figures are enough to start. You'll each set your finances out properly in the disclosure forms, and they need to be accurate and complete before you sign. Our prenup disclosure checklist lists what to gather.
In four steps, and nothing is signed until the last one.
Our How It Works page goes through each step in more detail, and our guide to how to get a prenup in the UK covers the process in general, with or without us.
About 15 to 30 minutes online, then as long as the review and the advice take. Your draft is ready the moment you finish; after that, the pace is set by your partner's review, your solicitor's appointment and any changes that come out of them.
So give yourselves time: start about 10 weeks before the wedding if you can, and plan to sign at least 28 days before it. Our prenup deadline planner works back from your date.
Read the agreement, add their side and confirm it. We email your partner a secure link to their own private page, where they review the agreement on their own, add their own financial disclosure, and either confirm it or ask for changes.
If they ask for changes, you edit the agreement from your account and they review the updated version; nothing goes to your solicitor until you both agree it. The version you both sign is the one they have confirmed, and they sign it too, in front of their own witness.
That's their choice, and the agreement can still go ahead. On their review page they record whether they're taking advice from their own solicitor at a different firm or have chosen not to.
An agreement can carry weight without it, but advice on both sides is one of the things a court weighs, so it's worth encouraging. If the cost of a solicitor is what's putting them off, our both-advised package (£1,300) includes one for each of you.
Everything you need to go from your first answers to a signed agreement. We prepare the agreement and guide your partner's review, signing and witnessing, and an independent family-law solicitor advises one of you (£750) or each of you (£1,300) before you sign.
We do not hold a copy of your signed agreement, so keep your signed original safe.
£750 with an independent solicitor advising one of you, or £1,300 with a solicitor for each of you. That one fixed fee, VAT included, covers everything above: no hidden fees, and no subscriptions.
One of you pays once, at checkout when you finish the online questions, and the fee covers you both. At £750, if your partner takes advice from a solicitor of their own, they pay that firm directly.
Comparing your options? Our guide to how much a prenup costs in the UK prices every route, solicitor-drafted included, and the prenup cost checker builds an itemised estimate.
Who sees a solicitor. Both packages start from the same agreement and follow the same steps.
Each solicitor is independent, regulated and paid the same fixed fee whatever they advise.
We don't just hand you a document: we take you both from your first answers to a signed agreement, with a solicitor's advice built into the fee.
See how it works, or weigh up whether prenups are worth it.
Not for a change of mind once your agreement has been generated. It's digital content prepared for you and available as soon as you pay, so the usual 14-day right to cancel an online purchase ends when the download begins, which you agree to at checkout.
Your statutory rights still apply: if the agreement is wrong because of an error on our part, is faulty or not as described, or a technical problem stops you getting it, we'll put it right or refund you. Contact us with your order details; an approved refund goes back to your original payment method within 5 to 7 business days. The full policy is in our terms of service.
An independent, regulated family-law solicitor from a firm on our panel. UK Prenup is not a law firm, so the legal advice comes from your solicitor, not from us. With both of you advised (£1,300), each of you has a solicitor, from different firms.
Once your partner has confirmed the agreement, your solicitor goes through it and both disclosures, then advises you by video call, phone or in person. Afterwards you receive a written advice letter and, where they are satisfied you understand the agreement, a signed certificate of independent legal advice.
The law doesn't require either of you to have one: a prenup can be valid without advice (see can you write your own prenup?). But a court looks closely at whether each of you understood what you signed, and advice is the clearest evidence of that, especially when each of you takes your own, from different firms.
So it comes down to your package: with one of you advised (£750), your partner can take their own advice elsewhere or choose not to; with both of you advised (£1,300), each of you has your own solicitor.
At least 28 days before, if you can. There's no fixed legal deadline in England & Wales, but signing well ahead shows neither of you was rushed or pressured, which is one of the things a court looks at. The 28 days is guidance, not a legal rule.
Your agreement only takes effect if you marry within 12 months after the intended date it records, unless before then you both sign a further deed confirming or replacing it.
Each of you needs your own adult witness, there in person. Your witness watches you sign, then signs straight away and adds their name and address; that's all they have to do. A witness watching by video call is not valid for a deed.
Choose someone over 18 who knows you, such as a friend, colleague or neighbour, but who:
Only the first of those is a strict legal rule; avoiding the others keeps your witness independent, which is what we recommend.
Yes, as often as you like until your solicitor advises, at no extra charge: edit it from your account and your partner is asked to review the updated version.
Changes your solicitor recommends while advising you are made before they certify, also at no extra charge. Changes after advice aren't included. If you change the agreement after your solicitor has advised, they advise you again for £180 including VAT (£150 plus VAT), paid to them directly.
Once you've both signed, only a new agreement signed by both of you can change it.
Keep a signed original each, somewhere safe, and record the date you signed in your dashboard; you can download it again from your account for up to 6 years (see What's included).
Look at it again if your circumstances change a lot: a child arriving, a move, or a big change in your finances. The agreement asks you to, and any change then means a new agreement signed by you both, which after the wedding is a postnuptial agreement.

What we can't give is legal advice: that's what your solicitor is for.
Yes. Your details travel over encrypted connections, are stored securely, and are never sold. We share them only where your service needs it, such as with your solicitor. Each of you has your own login, so your partner sees their own side and the shared agreement, not your private details.
Our privacy policy sets out what we keep, why, and for how long.
The law and the costs in general, in more depth
Prenuptial agreement costs in the UK vary widely, from £750 online with a solicitor's advice included to four-figure solicitor fees. Here is a full breakdown of what a prenup costs, what drives the price, and what you get for your money.
Prenuptial agreements are not automatically binding in England & Wales, but since Radmacher v Granatino the courts give a properly prepared agreement significant weight. Here is what the law says and what makes a prenup more likely to be upheld.
A good prenuptial agreement covers property, savings, pensions, debts, business interests and inheritance, and rests on full financial disclosure and fair terms. Here is exactly what to include, and what to leave out.
