Cohabitation Agreements
When unmarried couples live together, their financial assets and responsibilities become connected, and yet, if an unmarried couple breaks up, they do not have any automatic legal rights.
Without legal rights, untangling financial resources and responsibilities on separation can prove to be challenging. In order to gain protection, and avoid conflict, cohabitees are well advised to draft a cohabitation agreement.
These agreements are used to detail how financial responsibilities and asset ownership will work while the couple are living together, and in the event that they split up.
To learn more about cohabitation agreements, get in touch with our expert cohabitation agreement solicitors in Sleaford.
