Frequently asked questions

Yes, you can update a Cohabitation Agreement. It is important to update your agreement if you have any major updates such as purchasing a new house, having a child, or any significant changes to your financial status.  

Although you can write your own Cohabitation Agreement using a template, it is important to get legal advice to ensure that your agreement is fair and covers everything.  

The cost of a Cohabitation Agreement will depend on factors such as your location and the solicitor you use. Your solicitor may use a fixed fee for their services or can give you a free estimate of how much their services will cost.  

If you live with your partner but you are not married or in a civil partnership, you do not have many rights surrounding finances, property, or your children. A Cohabitation Agreement can help you protect your interests. 

You can make a Cohabitation Agreement at any point during your relationship, but it is a good idea to draw one up before you move in together to provide you with some peace of mind.
