Why now?
A complete picture
Your will covers what happens after. A cohabitation agreement covers how things work now. Together they give couples a clearer plan.
No automatic protection
Unmarried partners in England and Wales don't have the same legal protections as married couples, in life as well as in death. A cohabitation agreement fills the gap.
The common law myth
Nearly half of UK adults believe in "common law marriage". It doesn't exist in UK law, however long you've lived together.
A natural conversation
Turn what you've already talked about into something clear and written down, so you both have a shared reference point.
Two ways to get started
Whether you know exactly what you want or are still working it out, we'll meet you where you are.
