Cohabitation Agreements​

Protecting Your Assets​

Many individuals may find themselves considering Cohabitation Agreements

As relationships evolve, many individuals find themselves considering Cohabitation Agreements – also known as pre-nuptial agreements, financial agreements, or binding financial agreements. These are becoming increasingly common, especially when people have carefully accumulated assets or received inheritances before entering a new relationship and wish to provide clarity and protection for their future.

Safeguard accumulated assets or inherited wealth

For a Cohabitation Agreement to be legally binding and truly effective, it must meet strict legal requirements. Crucially, both parties must receive independent legal advice. This ensures everyone understands the terms fully and that the agreement is fair and enforceable for all.

If you’ve accumulated assets or inherited wealth and want to safeguard them in the event a relationship doesn’t last, a Cohabitation Agreement could offer you significant peace of mind. These versatile agreements can be established at any stage of a relationship – before you move in together or marry, while you are together, or even after a relationship has ended, to formalise arrangements.

Compassion. Certainty. Confidence.
