Cohabitation Agreement

For some couples, moving in together is the next logical step in a long-term relationship. For married couples living together after they’re married, the law protects their personal and property interests automatically. However, if a couple is not married or cannot establish a legal union, their interests are not automatically protected. In these cases, couples may want to enter into a cohabitation agreement.

A cohabitation agreement is a contract between an unmarried couple that is designed to protect each person’s individual interests should the relationship end.
