A cohabitation agreement is a form of agreement reached between a couple who have chosen to live together (whether they are heterosexual or same sex). A cohabitation agreement contains specific terms that are decided between a couple who want to live together.

The aim of this agreement is to protect you from unnecessary cost and litigation should the relationship break down.

The agreement allows you to determine in advance who will keep specific assets and what will happen to assets that have been purchased jointly if you decide to separate.
