Our cohabitation agreement service (living together arrangement) is an easy way for couples moving in together to gain total clarity on what will happen if the relationship ends.

Norwich & Norfolk’s specialist solicitors for Cohabitation Agreements / Living Together Arrangement

These days, plenty of couples choose to live together without being married, assuming they will have similar rights to married couples when the relationship ends. However, this is not the case; cohabiting couples need to attain legal clarity over finances, children, debt, and property in the form of a binding document. This is the only way to protect the best interests of both of you. At Hansells, we’ve helped unmarried couples in Norwich and across East Anglia achieve total peace of mind through our living together service.

A cohabitation agreement is also known as a living together agreement and is used by unmarried couples to protect their interests. It’s essentially a legally binding document covering things like child maintenance, financial arrangements, who owns which assets. The purpose of this document is to provide clarity on what will happen following the potential future breakdown of the relationship. Without it, unmarried couples don’t have the same legal rights to make claims over each other’s finances and assets as married ones. To find out more, visit our dedicated page for unmarried couples.

Yes. Unmarried couples do not have the same legal rights as married couples if they separate. A living together agreement sets out clear arrangements for finances, property, debts, and children, helping to avoid disputes and uncertainty in the future.

Speak to our living together agreement solicitors to find out whether an agreement is right for your situation.

A living together agreement can be legally binding, provided it is properly drafted and both parties receive independent legal advice. Working with a qualified living together agreement solicitor ensures the agreement is fair, clear, and enforceable.

A living together agreement typically covers:
• Ownership of property and assets
• How finances and bills are shared
• What happens to savings and investments
• Responsibility for debts
• Arrangements for children, where relevant

Contact us to discuss what your living together agreement should include.

Yes. A living together agreement can be updated if your circumstances change, such as buying a property together, having children, or changing financial arrangements. A solicitor can review and amend the agreement to keep it up to date.
