For unmarried couples planning ahead together

Living together with clarity, now and later.

A cohabitation agreement is a simple written record of what you've both agreed around money, the home and the practical side of life together. It's especially useful when you're not married, and a natural thing to sort out alongside your will or estate plan.

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.
