Here's what sets us apart:
You can see how it works, or weigh up whether prenups are worth it.
In England & Wales a prenuptial agreement is not automatically binding on a court. However, following the Supreme Court decision in Radmacher v Granatino (2010), the courts will give effect to a prenup that is freely entered into by both parties, with a full appreciation of its implications, unless it would be unfair to hold the parties to it. In practice this means a well-prepared agreement carries significant persuasive weight — our guide explains whether prenups are legally binding in the UK in more detail.
To give your agreement the best chance of being upheld, couples should make sure:
No — you're not legally required to use a solicitor to make a prenuptial agreement in England & Wales, and many couples prepare a valid agreement without one. However, independent legal advice is strongly recommended: it's one of the key things a court looks at when deciding how much weight to give a prenup.
In Radmacher v Granatino, the court placed real importance on each partner understanding what they were signing. The clearest way to show that is for each partner to take their own independent legal advice — separately, not from a shared solicitor. You can read more in our guide to whether prenups are legally binding in the UK.

A prenuptial agreement can set out how your property, savings, debts, business interests and pensions should be treated if the marriage ever ends. Couples most commonly use one to address:
A prenup cannot override a court's duty to provide for the reasonable needs of both parties and any children, and arrangements for children are always decided in their best interests at the time. For a fuller breakdown, see our guide to what to include in a prenup. UK Prenup is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice; both parties should consider independent legal advice before signing.
There's no fixed deadline in England & Wales, but the earlier the better. Signing well in advance helps show that neither partner felt rushed or pressured, which is one of the things a court will look at. As a general rule of thumb, couples are often advised to have the agreement finalised and signed at least 28 days before the wedding.
If you're unsure about timing, our support team can help, though we cannot give legal advice.
Creating your prenup takes three simple steps — fill in the online form together, review it and take independent legal advice, then sign it in front of a witness. Here's how each step works:
Both partners set out their assets, debts, and how you'd like things divided. We then generate your agreement instantly and make it available to download from your dashboard.
Each partner should read the agreement carefully and consider independent legal advice before signing, ideally well before the wedding.
Both partners sign the agreement, each in front of a witness. Log into your dashboard to store your signed agreement securely and revisit it whenever you need.
For a full walkthrough, see our How It Works page.
Each partner should sign in front of their own independent witness — someone over 18 who knows you personally but isn't related to either party or living at your address. Most people ask a friend, colleague, or neighbour.
Your witness simply watches you sign, then signs the agreement themselves and adds their name and address. That's it — no formal role, no paperwork for them.
We have a real, UK-based support team — not a chatbot. If you have any questions before, during, or after your order, you can contact us and we'll usually respond the same working day.
