Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some answers to some of the questions you may have about Wenup and couples agreements in general.
A Wenup prenup is a fixed £690 per person, or £1,380 in total for the couple, all in. That covers the platform, your case manager, drafting, and an independent lawyer for each of you. There are no hourly fees and nothing more to pay.
Prenups are not automatically binding in the UK, but courts will generally uphold one when it is entered into freely, with full disclosure and independent legal advice for both partners. An online prenup is just as valid as one done in person, as long as it meets those requirements, which Wenup is built around.
Most couples complete the questionnaire in an evening and have their independent lawyer calls within days. Start to finish it is typically a matter of a couple of weeks, depending on how quickly you both want to move.
A prenup should be signed at least 28 days before the wedding. Leaving it later can weaken it, so we recommend starting in good time. If you are inside that window, a postnuptial agreement after the wedding is the better route.
Commonly a home or assets owned before the marriage, a business, family gifts and future inheritance, and pensions, savings and investments. On your free consultation we can talk through your specific situation.
Approached openly, a prenup is a shared, honest conversation about your future, and it protects you both. Because Wenup is collaborative rather than one-sided, it becomes something you do together. We are happy to suggest simple, kind ways to start that conversation.
A prenuptial agreement is entered into in contemplation of marriage. If you do not marry, it generally does not take effect. If your plans change, speak to us about whether a cohabitation agreement or other arrangement may be more appropriate.
Yes. Life changes, and your agreement can be updated to reflect that. If you added couple wills when buying your prenup through Wenup, you enjoy three years of free prenup reviews. Otherwise we can help you arrange a review when your circumstances change.
Full and frank financial disclosure is essential for a prenup to carry weight. You will typically need to share details of property, savings, investments, pensions, debts, business interests and expected inheritances. Wenup guides you through this as part of the questionnaire.
A Wenup postnup is a fixed £690 per person, or £1,380 in total for the couple, all in. That covers the platform, your case manager, drafting, and an independent lawyer for each of you. There are no hourly fees and nothing more to pay.
Postnups are not automatically binding in the UK, but courts will generally uphold one when it is entered into freely, with full disclosure and independent legal advice for both partners.

There is no fixed deadline like with prenups, but it is best to sign sooner rather than later. The longer you wait after marriage, the more your financial position may change, which can make the process more complex.
Commonly a home or assets owned before or during the marriage, a business, family gifts and future inheritance, and pensions, savings and investments. On your free consultation we can talk through your specific situation.

A prenuptial agreement is signed before marriage; a postnuptial agreement is signed after you are already married. Both set out how assets would be divided, but if you are already married or missed the 28-day pre-wedding window, a postnup is the right route.
Yes. A postnuptial agreement can address how debts as well as assets would be dealt with if the marriage ended. This is one of the reasons many couples choose a postnup when their financial position has changed since the wedding.
Yes. If you are already married or too close to the wedding to sign a prenup at least 28 days beforehand, a postnuptial agreement is the better option. Wenup offers the same fixed-fee, collaborative process for postnups as for prenups.
Wenup cohabitation agreement is £800 for a single lawyer agreement, or £999 for an independent lawyer for each of you. That covers the platform, your case manager, drafting, and an independent lawyer for each of you. There are no hourly fees and nothing more to pay.
Cohabitation agreements are contracts between partners. When properly drafted with full disclosure and independent legal advice for both partners, they provide important clarity and protection. An online agreement is just as valid as one done in person when done properly, which Wenup is built around.
Most couples complete the questionnaire in an evening and speak to a lawyer shortly after that. Start to finish it is typically a matter of a couple of weeks, depending on how quickly you both want to move.
The earlier the better — ideally before you move in together or make major joint financial commitments. Having an agreement in place before combining finances gives you both the clearest protection.
Commonly a home or assets owned before or during the relationship, a business, family gifts and future inheritance, and savings and investments. On your free consultation we can talk through your specific situation.

No. Unlike married couples, cohabiting partners do not automatically have rights to each other's property or finances if the relationship ends. A cohabitation agreement sets out your intentions clearly and gives you both important protection.
Yes. A cohabitation agreement can set out each partner's share in a jointly owned home, how mortgage payments are split, and what happens to the property if you separate. This is one of the most common reasons couples choose to put an agreement in place.
Without an agreement, disputes over property, savings and other assets can be costly and stressful. The courts will apply general property law rather than relationship-specific rules. A cohabitation agreement gives you both certainty about what happens if you split up.
