Specialists in Co-habitation agreements
When taking the exciting first steps of buying your first home with your partner, it’s worth considering a cohabitation agreement, to protect your investment, should you not stay together in the future.
Co-habitation Agreements
If you’re planning to purchase a property or other assets with your partner it’s worth considering a co-habitation agreement. There are lots of myths and misunderstandings around the rights of co-habiting couples and ‘common law’ spouses. The truth is, there is currently no specific law regulating the legal relationship of co-habiting couples; and the term ‘common law spouse’ is not a legally recognised term. When a co-habiting relationship breaks down, there’s usually property and financial issues to sort out, but much less clarity regarding who should get what. We can help you by creating an agreement that will protect both parties interests in the future.

What can I do to protect my interests?
Co-habitation agreement
We can help protect the legal basis of your relationship, by drafting a co-habitation agreement when you move in together. Such an agreement outlines both parties’ wishes concerning property and other assets. We will also advise you how to protect your share of any property with a declaration of trust and make provision for your partner/children in the event of your death with a will.
