Digital Property Protection — The Future of Prenups

What Is Digital Property Protection?

Digital property protection is the practice of defining financial boundaries between spouses — assets, liabilities, economic responsibilities — using end-to-end digital tools. The agreement is created, signed, and secured entirely online, without unnecessary office visits. The legal requirements under Israeli law remain unchanged; what changes is how efficiently the administrative work gets done.

Why It Matters Under Israeli Law

The Property Relations Between Spouses Law (5773-1973) allows couples to set their own property arrangements before marriage. Legal validity requires a notary's certification — not a lawyer's signature. Digital property protection doesn't bypass this requirement; it streamlines everything that comes before the notary visit.

Traditional prenups meant multiple attorney meetings, long waits, and costs that could reach thousands of shekels before a single clause was agreed upon. The digital approach lets couples complete the entire preparation phase from home, arriving at the notary with a document that's ready to certify.

Five Things That Change

1. Online questionnaire replaces the initial lawyer meeting — seven structured steps covering personal details, assets (including crypto and RSUs), liabilities, property regime choice, special arrangements, tax planning, and final declarations.

1. Clause assembly from an approved library replaces bespoke drafting — 37 attorney-approved Hebrew clauses, selected and combined based on the couple's specific answers.

1. Encrypted digital signatures replace wet signatures — each signature is secured with AES-256-GCM encryption, recording IP address, user agent, and timestamp. Israel's Electronic Signature Law (2001) recognizes such signatures as legally valid advanced electronic signatures.

1. Encrypted cloud storage protects the finalized document — no lost paperwork, no physical vulnerabilities.

1. Geo-matched notary handles the one in-person step the law requires — the platform surfaces the nearest available notary by city and district.

Who Needs It

Any couple planning to marry in Israel who holds assets, savings, or anticipates income gaps may benefit from a prenuptial agreement. Digital property protection is especially relevant for self-employed individuals, shareholders, and anyone holding digital assets.

On Nobiru, the entire process costs ₪599 per couple. An optional personal lawyer review adds ₪499. The notary fee (₪526 per the 2025 Notaries Notice) is paid directly to the notary.
