Prenuptial Property Advice — Guide

Prenuptial property advice in Ireland gives couples a clear written view of the property side of a prenuptial agreement. Prenups in Ireland are not binding in the same way as in some other countries, but they can still influence outcomes. A solicitor would review the documents and folio and give you a property-side opinion with recommended changes.

You can upload your folio, deeds, contract, photos or other documents through our secure link; a solicitor would then typically review everything before preparing advice. There is no hourly billing: the price is fixed for the service described. Property and land issues are usually easier and cheaper to resolve early, before a sale, mortgage or family transfer is held up. The advice is based on Irish law and practice and on the documents you provide, so the more complete your documents, the more precise the advice can be. If the advice shows that further work is needed, such as correspondence, a Land Registry application or a planning or court process, the template will explain the options and any further cost before anything else is done.

Frequently asked questions

How much does prenuptial property advice 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 binding in Ireland?

Not automatically. A court must make proper provision for spouses and children, but it can take a properly made agreement into account.

What makes a prenup more likely to be taken into account?

Independent legal advice for each party, full disclosure and signing well before the wedding all help.
