Cohabitation Solicitors
More and more people are choosing not to marry, or to enter into a civil partnership, but this can lead to issues further down the line if conflicts arise. Friends who live together can also be legally termed as cohabiting, as can family members. There are legal agreements you can put in place in this instance for peace of mind. Our family law solicitors in Brighton and Hove can help protect your assets and interests in the event that your living arrangements break down.
Our expertise covers:
Cohabitation Agreements
Cohabitation agreements ensure your rights and finances are protected, even if your relationship breaks down. They are designed to protect you both from unnecessary stress and costs and outline what will happen to family, finances and assets in the event of a separation. This can include shared assets, property rights and even care of pets and children.
Our family law solicitors will ensure your cohabitation agreement is comprehensive and extends to cover life insurance decisions and current financial arrangements, such as how much you both agree to contribute to household bills, rent and mortgage payments if necessary.
Are Cohabitation Agreements Legally Binding?
Courts will take all of a couple’s circumstances and relationship history into account and decide the fairest way to divide their shared assets. The court is far more likely to uphold your cohabitation agreement if it has been drawn up by a solicitor, especially if there are property-related issues. If not written by a solicitor, the agreement will be judged on its fairness to both people.
How Much Do Cohabitation Agreements Cost?
Cohabitation agreements are complex documents. Our pricing begins from £1,800 plus VAT for a fully comprehensive agreement, but could rise if your case is particularly complex involving overseas property or assets. Our family law solicitors will always give you a fee estimate at your initial consultation.
