Cohabiting couples in England and Wales generally have no automatic right to a shared home or to a partner’s assets when the relationship ends. A solicitor can help with planning ahead through cohabitation agreements, or with disputes arising from living together, such as property ownership, housing matters, and parenting arrangements. They also advise on how to resolve financial claims where evidence supports a result based on trusts, implied terms, or contributions to the home. The practical work often involves drafting or reviewing agreements, advising on rights under property law, and representing clients in related negotiations.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The work typically involves assessing how property is held or contributed to, identifying potential claims based on resulting or constructive trusts, and advising on how to protect interests through formal or informal agreements. It may also involve negotiating settlements or disputing ownership in disputes that arise from cohabitation, with reference to housing rights and family considerations.

Tagged solicitor Catherine Taylor

I have encountered a very long legal battle over my property which ended up in court a few times.Sasha and Catherine took me through the process every step of the way explaining the procedures involved in making court applications and my legal rights, i felt very reassured whilst being on this roller coaster ride and had confidence in the staff at Butters David Grey throughout the whole process.Davina was always helpful responding to all communication swiftly and giving good advice.Sasha held my hand whilst in court I honestly don’t know what I would of done without her she is very straight talking and honest person and you know exactly where you stand at all times. I would highly recommend.
