Cohabitation agreements set out how finances, property and responsibilities should be managed when two people live together without marriage or civil partnership. A solicitor drafts, reviews and negotiates terms such as ownership of shared property, contributions to household bills, savings, debt, and what happens if the relationship ends. They can also cover arrangements for children, future support and the timing of any sale or transfer of assets, with the aim of reducing disputes if the relationship ends.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The agreement records provisional financial and property arrangements, and clarifies what happens if the relationship breaks down, including decisions about property, savings and debts. It can guide parties through mediation or negotiation, and, if needed, support a court with evidence of intentions should a dispute reach separation.
