Cohabitation Agreements: How Can This Help Save Your Assets?

Cohabitation agreements can save you and your assets in the event of a break-up with your partner. Yes, some partners rely on the trust and honesty built on their relationships. They will trust that, after their relationship breaks, their partners will give them their properties or anything they deserve to have. Despite this ideal outcome, some partners are afraid that things might go south during breakups.

Cohabitation agreements are for unmarried couples who want to live together. Couples who are in a de facto relationship (not married to each other) and are living on a genuine domestic basis or planning to live together may consider creating a cohabitation agreement. Cohabitation can occur between opposite-sex couples and same-sex couples.
