Many people believe living together for a long time gives them the same rights as a married or civil partnership couple if the relationship was to breakdown.
This in fact, is incorrect. It is important that steps are taken now to formalise an agreement with your partner which states what will happen should you separate in the future.
Our solicitors will be able to advise you on the cohabitation issues you should consider. They will also advise you as to where you stand legally and how a Court would view your arrangements.
A Cohabitation Agreement can record details such as, who owns what at the start of a relationship, how any property acquired during the relationship will be owned and who will be responsible for mortgage etc.
