HelloPrenup vs a Florida Attorney: What Each Price Buys

What Does HelloPrenup Do Well?

HelloPrenup is an online service that builds a state-specific prenup from questionnaires, one for each partner. The two answers are compared inside the account, and the couple edits the agreement together. Several things it does are things I would want for a couple on a budget.

• Price and speed. The pricing page lists $599 per couple with unlimited edits before signing, and its FAQ says most couples finish the questionnaire in one to two hours.
• A questionnaire for each partner. Each person answers separately, which brings disagreements to the surface before signing. The pricing page lists full financial disclosure for each partner as part of the plan.
• A separate lawyer for each spouse, if you add them. The $2,197 package gives each partner an attorney, “one per partner.” A lawyer for each spouse is what I recommend for any prenup.
• The two witnesses. HelloPrenup’s Florida page lists two witnesses for an agreement that waives estate rights and says they are provided as needed.
• Online signing and notarization. The pricing page lists e-signature and online notarization, included with the two-attorney package and a $50 add-on to the $599 plan.

I have not used the product, and the agreement a Florida couple’s account generates sits behind the account, so I cannot describe its clauses. Every HelloPrenup fact on this page comes from its own public pages as read on October 7, 2026, and the addresses are in the Sources of Law block.

How Much Does HelloPrenup Cost in Florida?

On October 7, 2026 the pricing page listed these figures. The prenup alone was $599 per couple, labeled “Attorney-Backed” and described as “No lawyers required.” A 20-minute attorney Q&A call was $49. Attorney representation was $799 per partner, and the attorney page describes it as a review of the entire agreement, suggested edits, advice, attorney e-signature and a 60-minute phone call. The package called “Attorney-Signed” was $2,197 per couple, with two attorneys, one for each partner, and with e-signature and notarization included.

The pricing page says “Both options are attorney-backed and built for your state’s prenup laws.” The home page disclaimer says the company “does not offer legal advice or representation” and is not a law firm, and that attorneys advertised on the site are independent attorneys. Read together, the pages say that attorneys designed the product, and that an attorney reviews your agreement when you add one. The pricing page also says availability of the attorney services depends on your state, and the Florida page lists the same prices and a Florida-licensed attorney for the add-on.

What Does a Florida Attorney Charge Instead?

At this firm a prenup drafted for one spouse is a flat fee from $2,450. A review of a draft agreement for one spouse is a flat fee from $750, and a postnuptial agreement drafted for one spouse is a flat fee from $2,950. The fees were posted October 6, 2026 and are honored for 90 days. Government costs such as recording are additional and passed through at cost. The first phone consult costs nothing.

The two prices are different units. HelloPrenup’s $2,197 covers two lawyers, one for each partner, reviewing an agreement built from questionnaires. The firm’s $2,450 covers one lawyer drafting an agreement for one spouse after a conversation about that spouse’s facts, and includes up to two rounds of revisions with the other spouse’s lawyer, the disclosure schedules and a signing with two witnesses and a notary. The other spouse needs a separate lawyer, whether at a Florida firm or through a service such as HelloPrenup. What a Florida prenup costs explains what moves the number.

Is a HelloPrenup Prenup Valid in Florida?

A prenup built on any platform is valid in Florida when it meets the same rules as every other prenup. Florida requires a writing signed by both people. A court will not enforce the agreement in a divorce if the signer did not sign voluntarily, if fraud, duress, coercion or overreaching produced it, or if it was unconscionable and the signer received no fair disclosure, waived none in writing and had no adequate knowledge of the other person’s finances anyway. HelloPrenup’s Florida page names the same two statutes and the same Florida Supreme Court case, Casto, that this page relies on.

So validity is the wrong question, and fit is the right one. The Fourth District’s 2021 opinion in Williams-Paris v. Joseph concerned an agreement built from an online legal-forms program on a wedding morning, and the court read it paragraph by paragraph as written. On the wedding morning a man of 83 told his 58-year-old fiancée to find a prenup online, and the couple signed before a notary hours before the 4 p.m. ceremony. A paragraph about the man’s house said it “shall not be affected by this Agreement,” and the court reversed the finding that she had waived her interest in that house. A form works as written, and the case turned on what the written paragraphs said about one asset.

What Does a Florida-Specific Agreement Add?

Four Florida rules decide fit. Whether a given platform agreement handles them depends on the agreement, which I have not seen, so the questions below are the ones to ask of any product or any lawyer.

Witnesses, and disclosure after the wedding. A waiver of the elective share, homestead and the other death-side rights needs two subscribing witnesses, and HelloPrenup’s Florida page says it provides them. A waiver signed after the wedding has a second requirement, because each spouse must make a fair disclosure of his or her estate. In Estate of Shore a widower signed a prenup that gave his wife $125,000, and later signed a postnup that raised her inheritance to $1.5 million after she pressed him for changes. He refused all disclosure, although his own lawyer told him Florida law required it. The postnup fell for want of disclosure and the prenup came back, so her elective share was zero, though a codicil he signed the same day still gave her the $1.5 million. HelloPrenup refers postnups to a sister brand, so those rules apply to a separate product.

The house. Florida’s constitution restricts who can receive a homestead at death when a spouse or a minor child survives, and a spouse can waive the restriction only in writing. In Mendia v. Galvez (Third District, 2025) a postnup and a quitclaim deed that never mentioned homestead waived nothing, and the owner’s later deed to a cousin, which the husband had not signed, was void. HelloPrenup’s Florida page reports that 41.2 percent of its Florida users own real estate, and the word homestead did not appear on any page I read. Ask to see the clause, and check whether it names the house. A prenup and the house covers the rule in full.

The death side of a second marriage. A surviving spouse can claim 30 percent of the elective estate and has rights in the home whatever the will says, unless the spouse waived them. In Weisfeld-Ladd the agreement had no “all rights” language and never mentioned the elective share, and the waiver held only because of the widow’s own testimony about what she understood. A couple with children from earlier marriages needs the waiver to name each right. How a prenup works at death has the list.

Choice of law. In Williams-Paris the couple signed in Massachusetts, and the Fourth District applied Florida law to the agreement’s validity because the decedent’s homestead was a key asset. A clause choosing another state’s law may not control a Florida home. Judge Warner’s concurrence says the surest way to avoid the conflict is for the parties to designate the governing law in the agreement. See prenups signed in another state.

When Is HelloPrenup Enough?

A platform agreement is often enough when most of these facts are true.

• The two of you have similar finances and no children from earlier relationships.
• Neither of you owns a house, a business or a large retirement account before the wedding.
• Neither of you needs to waive the other’s right to inherit.
• Each of you has your own lawyer read the agreement, which the two-attorney package supplies.
• You start months before the wedding and exchange a disclosure schedule early.

For a couple in that position, the $2,197 package with two Florida-licensed attorneys is a lawful route, and I would not tell them to spend more.

When Is HelloPrenup Not Enough?

A platform agreement alone is usually not enough when any of these facts is true. A common question I hear is, “My partner pays half the mortgage on the house I owned first, so does the house stay mine?” The first bullet answers that question.

• One of you owns a house before the wedding, or you will buy one together. The agreement has to name the house, the mortgage paydown and the deed.
• One of you has children from an earlier marriage, and the survivor’s claim on the estate matters to those children.
• One of you owns a business or expects an inheritance, and the agreement has to say how growth is treated.
• One of you has a 401(k) or pension, because federal law needs a consent on the plan’s own form after the wedding.
• You are already married, so the agreement is a postnup and needs a fair disclosure from each spouse.
• One of you is being asked to sign with a deadline close to the wedding and has no lawyer.

In those cases the agreement should be drafted for the people signing it, and the lawyer should have read the Florida cases on each point above. A lawyer inside a platform can do that work. The question to ask the lawyer is what the clause says about the house.

Can a Florida Attorney Review a HelloPrenup Agreement?

Yes. If you build an agreement on HelloPrenup or any other platform and want a Florida lawyer to read it, a review for one spouse is a flat fee from $750, posted October 6, 2026 and honored for 90 days. The review is a full read of the agreement and its disclosures, with a written analysis and a call with the attorney. The review reads the agreement your account produced against the four Florida points above and tells you what applies to your facts and what to change. Government costs are additional and passed through at cost. I represent one of you, and the other spouse needs a separate lawyer.

If you would rather have the agreement drafted for you, a prenup drafted for one spouse is a flat fee from $2,450. What a prenup review covers and what a template leaves out go deeper on each choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Situations

The couple in their twenties. Two engineers rent, earn about the same and have no children. Each adds an attorney for $799, they sign before two witnesses well before the wedding, and they spend less than $2,200 together. For them the platform is a sensible tool.

The widow marrying again. A widow of 66 owns a paid-off home and wants it to go to her three children. The platform’s questionnaire asks about property and inheritance, and the home needs a waiver that names the address and a deed that says homestead. For her, an agreement drafted for the home is the point.

The founder with equity. A founder owns a company two years old and a 401(k) from a previous employer. The agreement has to say that growth from the founder’s work is separate, and the retirement plan needs a consent on its own form after the wedding.

What One Short Prenup Taught Me About Reading a Platform Agreement

I checked this against the statute text and the opinions before writing it, and I will tell you where the answer is genuinely unsettled, because the clearest example I know is a one-page prenup.

In one case I have reviewed, a man owned a house on Marco Island when he and his fiancée signed a one-page prenup in May 2000. The agreement dealt only with the house. He would be entitled to “any and all equity and rights of ownership” in it, the house would stay premarital property, and she would have no interest in it. The agreement never mentioned the growth of the house or the mortgage. During the marriage, marital money paid down a home equity line and the mortgage. At the divorce the house was worth $365,000, and the trial court counted $197,226 of it as marital, which was $167,507 from the paydown and $29,719 from the growth, relying on a line of cases that read a clause like his narrowly. The husband, representing himself, appealed, and the Second District reversed in 2016. The first opinion, dated December 30, 2015, was withdrawn on the wife’s motion and replaced three months later.

I have a few take-home points.

The first is that a short agreement can work. The husband won his appeal on one phrase, “any and all equity,” which the Second District read as covering the paydown and the growth too.

The second is that the phrase worked because of a decision that did not exist when the agreement was signed. In 2015 the Florida Supreme Court decided Hahamovitch and disapproved the cases the trial court had followed, and the husband’s clause was read in light of that decision. The writers of the clause could not have known which reading a court would choose in 2016.

The third is the price of the open question. The uncertainty meant a trial judgment that counted $197,226 of his house as marital, an appeal he argued without a lawyer, and 16 years between the signing and the answer. Any general document, whether a lawyer’s form or a program’s output, leaves some question open, and the cost of it falls on the person who owns the house.

Practice pointer. Write the paydown and the growth into the clause, in words that name them, and do not count on a court to read “any and all equity” the way the Second District did in 2016.

Avoid signing a house provision of one sentence, whether a lawyer or a program wrote it.

An honest limit belongs here. The case says nothing about HelloPrenup, whose Florida agreement I have not read, and it was a divorce case with a pre-2007 agreement, so it predicts nothing about how a court would read a clause signed today. The point is only that an agreement’s wording on the house is the part worth reading twice.
