About Cohabitation Agreements

Cohabitation has become increasingly popular in recent years. The downside of this, however, is that cohabiting couples are not afforded the same rights as those who are married or in civil partnerships.

Cohabitation agreements are key to protecting the financial position of both you and your partner should your relationship break down. They cover elements such as who owns property, and what financial contributions are to be made to cover debts and other obligations.

Whether you are looking to draft new arrangements or amend existing ones, you can rely on Lowry Legal to help. Our cohabitation agreement solicitors have many years of experience in putting together strong agreements — however complex the circumstances may be.

“A high-octane team large enough for a wealth of expertise and experience but small enough to have rich discussions, pool ideas and know their clients and cases personally.”

How Lowry Legal Can Help

1. Making Cohabitation Simple

Whether you’re moving into your first house together or you’re going your separate ways, Lowry Legal’s cohabitation agreement solicitors’ have years of experience in making this transition as smooth and stress free as possible.

2. Formalising Ownership & Protecting Deposits

On your list of priorities, alongside a new sofa, should be your cohabitation agreement. We can help you formalise ownership of your new home, protect your deposits, set out who pays for what, and clearly define what would happen if you separated. An agreement such as this can really take the stress out of starting your new life together and make separation so much cleaner and more simple if you were to go your separate ways.

3. Facilitating Amicable Separation

If you need to separate but did not previously have a cohabitation agreement in place, we can help you at every stage of the process towards reaching a sensible deal, even if that means having to go to court.
