Dale & Co can assist you in drawing up a cohabitation agreement to set down some practical guidelines for the relationship between you and your partner. Thinking these things through early on should make things much clearer and less painful in the event of a break up.
Everyone's personal situation is different, which means that each agreement will be different. Some of the things you should consider including in a cohabitation agreement are:
In the event of a break up however, if you are not able to sort matters out amicably, and you find you are in dispute over how to work things out, you will need to use the cohabitation agreement in a legal setting. It is a type of "contract" and it is therefore important that it meets certain legal criteria that apply to all contracts. (But remember: although courts are showing more willingness to take account of such agreements there is still no certainty that they would enforce one.)
Your agreement is more likely to be treated seriously by a court if you follow these guidelines. The document should be:

Lincoln Solicitors Dale and Co. are dedicated to providing the very best service. We aim to understand what you want and to offer the most effective advice tailored to your needs - not ours.
Dale & Co Solicitors have served Lincolnshire and beyond since 1986; long enough to be trusted and valued, but new enough to be efficient and client-focussed. Walk into our offices to notice the difference; friendly, professional staff with practical legal help. Our dedicated legal teams offer advice regarding Family Law, Conveyancing (buying or selling your home); Wills, Probate and Powers of Attorney.
Dale & Co.'s liability for both contentious and non-contentious work shall be limited to £3 million unless otherwise agreed in writing. At the client’s request a higher limit of liability may be agreed by Dale & Co. subject to the client indemnifying Dale & Co. of the increased insurance premium to cover the increased risk.
We will inform you if any unforeseen extra work becomes necessary, which will increase our charges above our estimate (for example due to unexpected difficulties, or if your requirements or the circumstances change during the matter).
We will also inform you in writing of the estimated costs of any such extra work and will obtain your agreement to being responsible to pay for such costs before we undertake the same.
It is essential when setting up a home together that legal and financial affairs are put in order by getting a cohabitation agreement and Wills drawn up through a solicitor. A cohabitation agreement can be tailored to the individual couple's situation, but should set out, for example, how the property ownership is to be shared, how the parties' income is to be utilised, i.e. either pooling resources or maintaining separate accounts and provisions for changes in the future to the agreement should it be necessary.
