Cohabitation Agreement Solicitors


At Farnworth Rose, our specialist Cohabitation Agreement Solicitors provide expert legal advice to help couples protect their financial interests before moving in together. It is essential to consider how your living and financial arrangements will work and what will happen to any jointly or individually owned assets in the event of separation or if one partner passes away. A legally binding cohabitation agreement offers clarity and security, ensuring that both partners understand their rights and responsibilities.

A cohabitation agreement can help safeguard your interests by outlining key financial and property arrangements, from responsibility for household expenses to how assets such as property, savings, and personal belongings will be divided if the relationship ends. This type of legal agreement is particularly important for unmarried couples, as the law does not currently provide the same protections for cohabiting partners as it does for married couples or civil partners.

When drafting a cohabitation agreement, careful consideration must be given to any property ownership, mortgages, rental agreements, and shared assets, such as vehicles and furniture. Whether you jointly own a home, one partner owns the property outright, or you are renting together, having a clear, written agreement can prevent disputes and ensure that both parties are legally protected.

Our experienced Cohabitation Agreement Solicitors provide tailored legal advice to ensure your agreement is legally sound, properly drafted, and clearly reflects both partners’ intentions. While couples may wish to seek joint legal advice, it is often beneficial for each partner to obtain independent legal advice to safeguard their individual rights.

At Farnworth Rose, we help couples create legally binding cohabitation agreements that provide security, fairness, and peace of mind for the future.

What We Do For Our Clients

At Farnworth Rose Solicitors we have extensive experience in helping cohabiting couples document in writing an agreement reached around their respective finances. We provide advice as to the legal implications of any agreement and help couples to navigate the key provisions that will need to be covered, ensuring that they include all relevant aspects of their finances and financial future. We will then draft detailed and carefully worded provisions to reflect a couple’s agreement, tailored to their unique set of circumstances.

Our expert solicitors have helped hundreds of clients document their rights and responsibilities around joint living arrangements, as well as determining their legal and beneficial interests in any individually or jointly-owned assets, in this way helping to avoid any disputes if they ultimately go their separate ways or one person passes away.

How We Can Help You

If you are planning to move in with someone or you are already living together as a couple, we can help you to regularise your financial arrangements by recording in writing your intentions as a couple about ownership and division of any property and assets. This can provide you and your partner with the flexibility and freedom to organise your financial affairs as you see fit, both during and after any period of cohabitation, providing each other with the peace of mind that suitable provision has been made for every eventuality.
