Co-habiting

Any couple living together can come to an agreement regarding property and children, known as cohabitation. In contrast to a married couple, the law applies differently to those who cohabit. Cohabitation agreements cover the maintenance of joint assets in a relationship and determine how these are to be divided in case of the relationship coming to an end. A cohabitation agreement should be made with the help of a solicitor to avoid problems at the time of a separation. You can note how you would like your assets to be divided, especially if you and your partner have jointly made your respective contributions to the assets you possess. For help in resolving the legal issues around co-habiting, sound knowledge of this complex law is needed, and that is where Legal Compare can assist you.
