A Cohabitation Contract, also known as a Non-Marital Agreement or A Cohabitation Agreement (also known as a Living Together Agreement) is a legal document that outlines the financial and property arrangements for unmarried couples who live together. This advocate-reviewed template, available for download on wansom.ai, provides a clear framework for managing shared assets and responsibilities, helping to prevent future disputes and ensuring both partners’ interests are protected.
This downloadable template is intended for couples in long-term relationships, homeowners moving in with a partner, joint tenants, and individuals with significant personal assets or children. It is a practical tool for any cohabiting couple looking to formalize their domestic arrangements and establish a clear understanding of how common expenses and property ownership will be handled.
The template covers critical components, including contributions to rent or mortgage payments, ownership of household items, and the division of shared debts. It also addresses arrangements for children, the distribution of assets in the event of a separation, and how joint bank accounts are managed. To be legally robust, the agreement should be signed by both parties in the presence of witnesses and may require independent legal advice for each partner to ensure the terms are fair and enforceable according to local family or property laws.
