Marriage and cohabitation agreements are opportunities to discuss important topics, collaborate on a shared vision for the future, and align expectations with your partner. Most importantly, they provide both partners with the information necessary to make informed decisions - both inside and outside of the contractual process.
Make Informed Choices
Many partners enter into a cohabitation or a marriage without being aware of the legal and financial consequences.
Many are caught off guard when a relationship ends and they find out their or their partner's obligations.
​
Don't let that be you.
A marriage or cohabitation agreement ensures understand the legal aspects of a committed relationship (even one where you are not married), and the potential consequences of a relationship breakdown.
​
It puts YOU and YOUR PARTNER in the driver's seat when things are good.
What better time to plan for the worst?
What can a marriage or cohabitation agreement do?
These kinds of contracts can cover a range of different topics and there is room to be creative and customize solutions to target what is important to your and your partner.
Protect certain assets, such as business interests, pensions, retirement accounts, investments, property, inheritances, or joint assets with others (like family members).
These contracts can:
Provide clarity on financial expectations during the relationship, including who is responsible for what (such as mortgage payments), what accounts will be joint or individual, or contributions to certain accounts (such as one spouse contributing to the other's retirement accounts).
Address what happens in the event of a relationship breakdown in the short-term, particularly if there is the possibility of one spouse gaining a financial windfall from a short-term relationship.
Help both parties plan for their financial futures and make informed decisions, both inside and outside of the contract process.
