WHY DIY AND TEMPLATE PRENUPS FALL SHORT

If you’re considering a DIY prenup or template agreement, the price is attractive. But what exactly goes wrong with them?

Ontario Has Specific Legal Requirements: Under the Family Law Act, a valid prenuptial agreement must be in writing, signed by both parties, witnessed, include full financial disclosure, and include evidence of independent legal advice (industry standard). Many templates miss critical legal formalities or fail to meet Ontario’s disclosure requirements, which creates risk if the agreement is ever challenged.

Cost Context: Property division disputes can range from $10,000-$25,000 in mediation to $25,000-$150,000+ if litigation is required.

Missing Protections for Your Specific Situation: Every couple’s situation is unique:

Second marriages need inheritance protections
Business owners need professional practice safeguards
Couples with real estate gifts need specific property clauses

A generic template can’t address YOUR situation—it was designed for general scenarios, not your specific assets, family structure, and concerns.

Proactive Couples Protect Their Future With Clarity: Creating a customized prenup isn’t reactive—it’s proactive relationship planning. A clear, customized agreement provides documented financial expectations, clear terms, peace of mind, and confidence that your agreement will be enforceable when needed.
