- Unmarried Couples (Financials) Services
Many couples are now choosing to live together without being married or in a civil partnership. These couples often regard themselves as being in a “common law” partnership. This is a phrase which is not recognised under UK law.
We can advise on whether you have a financial claim against any property owned either in sole names or jointly with an ex partner.
We can also assist with drafting Living Together Agreements which set out your financial arrangements when you are cohabiting and advise you upon Pre Nuptial Agreements.
