Guide only — this matter needs a solicitor. Under Irish law this work must be carried out by a solicitor, so it is not sold on this site. The information below explains what is involved so you can brief a solicitor with confidence.
OnlineLegalServices.ie is operated by Plus Promotions Limited, which is not a solicitor’s practice and does not give legal advice. To instruct a regulated practice, use the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
A prenuptial agreement in Ireland sets out how a couple intends their assets to be dealt with if their marriage or civil partnership ends. This Prenup Premium Drafting service provides a professionally drafted, Ireland-specific prenuptial agreement, drafted under Irish family and succession law. It is for couples planning to marry who want their intentions recorded clearly, without open-ended hourly billing. This service is not a substitute for full legal representation in contested or high-value matters; for complex disputes, contact us for a tailored quote.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a prenup cost in Ireland?
This page is a free guide — nothing on it is for sale. Solicitors set their own fees for this work and must give you a written costs estimate (a section 150 letter) before starting. Get quotes through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
Are prenups legally binding in Ireland?
Prenuptial agreements are not automatically binding in Ireland. A court dealing with a separation or divorce must make proper provision for the spouses and any children, but it can take a properly made agreement into account.
Should each person get independent legal advice?
Yes. Each person should take independent legal advice, and the agreement should be signed well before the wedding, with full financial disclosure.
For more on separation, children and family law, see our Family Law in Ireland guides and services.
