Legal support for unmarried and cohabiting couples

Looking for a Cohabitation Solicitors in London?
Unmarried couples don’t have the same legal protections as married couples, making separation more complicated. Living together can create uncertainty regarding legal rights, especially during a separation. Unlike married couples, no dedicated legislation protects cohabiting couples, making it a high priority to plan ahead.
Our unmarried couples solicitors specialise in securing financial and property interests through carefully drafted cohabitation agreements or resolving complex disputes when relationships break down.
Why Unmarried Couples Need Legal Support
If you live with a partner and have no plans to get married, you can still protect your assets and finances. If you separate, there’s no automatic right to property or financial support. Instead, you’ll need to rely on complicated trust and contract laws, which are confusing and stressful to manoeuvre alone.
Why a Cohabitation Agreement Matters
A cohabitation agreement is a legal document that outlines property ownership, financial obligations, child matters, and each partner's responsibilities. It offers both parties clarity and security throughout the relationship, and if it comes to an end, you can both walk away without any monetary burdens.
By setting clear terms in advance, you can avoid disputes and ensure that both parties are treated fairly. Whether you're buying a property together or already living together, our unmarried couples solicitors will ensure your agreement provides the protection you need.
