Prenup questions, answered
How much does a prenup cost?
With First, a prenup is $649 flat for the couple with Self-Serve, or $3,500 with Lawyer Review, which includes an independent attorney for each of you. Free online notarization is included where remote online notarization is legally accepted. Hiring two attorneys on your own typically runs $3,000 to $10,000 or more per couple.
Can you get a prenup online?
Yes. With First, you and your partner answer guided questions, share full financial disclosure, and receive a custom prenup built for your state, all online. Most couples finish in days, not months.
Are online prenups legally binding?
Yes. A prenup made online is as binding as one drafted in a law office when it meets your state's requirements: in writing, signed by both of you before the wedding, entered into voluntarily, with full financial disclosure, and notarized or witnessed where your state calls for it. Some states add their own rules, such as how far ahead the final agreement must be shared or who has to witness the signing. Each state's page covers its rules, and every First prenup is built to meet them.
Do we each need our own lawyer?
Most states don't require it, though some do for certain terms, such as waiving spousal support in California. Many couples still choose to have their own attorney for the added confidence. Lawyer Review gives each of you an independent family law attorney who reviews your agreement, answers your questions and makes edits, for $3,500 flat for both. Self-Serve, at $649, is built for couples who are comfortable deciding together without attorneys.
How long does it take to get a prenup?
It depends on your package and how quickly you both move. Most Self-Serve couples finish in days: the guided questions take one to three sittings, your agreement is ready as soon as you're both done, and you can notarize the same day. With Lawyer Review, most couples finish in days to a few weeks, depending on complexity and how quickly both of you and both attorneys review. Starting well before the wedding gives you both time to read and talk it through.
Is notarization included?
Yes. Free online notarization is included with every First prenup in all states where remote online notarization is legally accepted. You can also print your agreement and use a local notary.
Is there anything a prenup can't cover?
A prenup can't decide child custody or reduce child support, which courts decide based on the child's best interests. Most other matters about your money and property as a couple can go in it.
