What is a Cohabitation Agreement?
In England and Wales, “common law marriage” is a legal myth. Unmarried couples do not have the same rights as married couples. A Cohabitation Agreement is a formal document that records who owns what and how you will split your finances if you separate. It is the most effective way to protect deposits and inheritances brought into a relationship.
Is it Legally Binding?
Yes, provided certain criteria are met: both parties must be honest about their finances (full disclosure), no one must be under pressure to sign, and the agreement must be kept up to date. OLS Solicitors ensures your agreement is drafted to meet the strict standards required by the courts of England and Wales.
