Prenuptial Agreement — Notarial Certification
A prenuptial agreement is an agreement between partners about to marry, regulating the division of property in case of divorce or death. Under Section 2(g1) of the Financial Relations Between Spouses Law, 1973 (חוק יחסי ממון בין בני זוג, תשל״ג-1973), a financial agreement can be certified by a notary — no court required. This is the fastest, simplest, and most cost-effective way.
What is a prenuptial agreement?
A prenuptial agreement is a binding legal agreement between spouses that defines how property will be divided between them. The agreement can stipulate that assets owned before the marriage remain with their owner, set arrangements for a shared home, business, savings, inheritances, and more. Notarial certification under Section 2(g1) gives it full legal validity — equivalent to court approval.
When do you need a prenuptial agreement?
- Couples where one or both bring significant assets to the marriage
- When there's a business to protect
- Second marriage — protecting children from the first marriage
- Significant age or income gap between partners

Yes. A financial agreement requires physical presence of both partners — the notary must verify free consent of both.

What happens without a prenup?
