The Short of the Long is that…
The Short of the Long is that HelloPrenup was great! The long of the short: I'll start by saying that this review comes from a middle class couple with decent salaries and a few assets. In my opinion, our 'case' was relatively simple one, yet it was still something that was important to one of us. The platform itself is great - you each answer questions, mostly multiple choice, and when you're done, you have to go through the conflicting answers until your answers match. So, it made for some interesting conversations. There are tons of pre-populated questions that range from age, income, job, assets, children, liabilities, debts, inheritances, medical insurance, life insurance, The property section goes through each type of property, and then asks if you want it classified as "Separate", "Default to State Laws" (which I can only assume would be community property in CA), and finally "Ask an Attorney". If you select "Ask an attorney", it keeps track of your questions and at the end, they link you to one of their pre-vetted attorneys for 1 hour (for an additional fee, of course). There's a 2nd option where you can opt for a full Attorney Review & Signing. Ultimately, my fiancé opted to speak with an attorney. It came as no surprise (to me at least) that her recommendation was to have an attorney review and sign off (another fee). However, I can't say enough good things about this woman. She was experienced, kind, and extremely down to earth. She looked at the whole process so positively. There was no sense of urgency on the phone with her and I think she really took her time answering his questions. Her final piece of advice was for me to also have my own attorney review, for another fee, of course. My experience with the attorney I chose was a very different one. He was very straight and to the point, which happened to suit my personality well. Opting in for the attorney review cost us an extra $1,500. Do I think that it was necessary? Personally, not really, not with the amount of assets we have. But then again, I've never been through a divorce so what do I know. I do know one thing, I hope I never have to look back one day and be thankful that I spent that extra money. I'm giving 4 stars only because of the lack of transparency. You can't really see what you're paying for until you pay for it. I completely understand that this is how they keep their platform proprietary, but it did make it feel like a bit of a gamble. Both attorneys said that the platform has been reviewed and developed by many attorneys. They said it's really strong and covers everything you'd need!
