As a legally cohabiting couple, you do not enjoy the same protection as married couples. This can be problematic if the relationship breaks down and, for example, there has not been equal financial input from both partners. For instance, you may have contributed to the financing of a new roof on your partner’s home. If you do not establish an agreement on this matter, you may not be able to reclaim these costs. You can anticipate this by having us draft a contract for you so that in the event of a breakup, you get what you are entitled to.
