Why a Prenuptial Agreement in Tel Aviv Is Essential — Not Optional
Tel Aviv is one of the world's most expensive cities for real estate. The average 3-room apartment costs ₪4.2 million — and many apartments exceed ₪6-10 million. With assets at these values, a prenuptial agreement is not a "paranoid optional tool" — it is a basic financial document.
The Supreme Court ruling BA'M 5620/24 (June 2025) added urgency: even an apartment bought before marriage can be subject to division if the couple managed it jointly. In Tel Aviv, where many people buy apartments before marriage, this is now a very real risk.

Purchase Tax Savings — The Number That Changes Everything
For Tel Aviv couples buying an apartment together (or where one partner already owns property), a prenuptial agreement can save tens or even hundreds of thousands of shekels in purchase tax.
Example — Apartment at ₪4 Million
| Situation | Purchase Tax |
|---|---|
| Without prenup (both own property) | ~8% = ₪320,000 |
| With prenup (asset separation) | ~5% = ₪200,000 |

What Makes Tel Aviv Unique for Prenuptial Agreements?
High Rental Market
Many Tel Aviv residents rent for years before buying. A prenup can define what happens to savings accumulated during the rental period — including those who acquired financial assets (funds, stocks, RSUs).
Inherited Apartments
Tel Aviv has many apartments that have passed through inheritance. A prenup can define that an inherited apartment (and its appreciation) remains within the original family — even after many years of marriage.
Business Partnerships
Many young couples in Tel Aviv run independent businesses. A prenup protects the company, reputation, and shares.
