Our services

Many people believe in the myth of ‘common law marriage’ and think living together without marriage entitles them to asset division upon separation. However, this is not the case. Currently, the law offers limited rights to cohabiting couples, making a cohabitation agreement essential for protecting your interests in shared assets.

Our experienced solicitors guide you through drafting a cohabitation agreement that clarifies each person’s rights and responsibilities. This agreement covers joint assets such as property, bank accounts, cars, and other shared items, providing clarity and avoiding disputes in case of separation.

For unmarried couples, it’s crucial to have a will, as cohabitation doesn’t automatically entitle partners to inheritance rights. Our team ensures your agreement is legally binding, protecting your interests and providing peace of mind.

If your relationship status changes to marriage or civil partnership, we can advise on converting your cohabitation agreement into a prenuptial agreement. By planning early, you safeguard your interests and ensure clarity in your partnership.
