Cohabitation Agreements
We draft and review cohabitation agreements. The basic elements to be covered will generally include :-
-
financial arrangements - who will pay for what, recording agreed position on equity in any property you own and other matters including joint debts.
-
how assets will be divided if you split up and a mechanism for resolving any disputes.
A cohabitation agreement is a legally binding contract. You should ensure that you have both taken independent legal advice before signing the agreement. In addition to a cohabitation agreement, where you jointly own property, you should consider a deed of trust and also think about a will.
