Living Together Agreements

Hylton-Potts - London Based Law Firm Helping People Across the UK since 1999

Moving in with your partner is exciting. So, as you start your new life together, you’re unlikely to be considering your legal rights, or how you’re going to pay the bills. You’re certainly unlikely to be thinking about what would happen to your home, plasma TV, king sized bed, sofa, pets and bills etc if you split up.

A Living Together agreement needn’t be like a celebrity pre-nup, where you don’t want your partner to waltz off with your Beverly Hills mansion and a recording contract after 15 minutes of marriage. They aren’t about “this is mine, that is yours, and you’re not getting a penny out of me”. Instead you can use a living together agreement to sort out the day to day workings of living together, and protect both you and your partner from whatever might happen to your relationship in the future.

Ideally you would make a Living Together agreement when you first move in together, but late really is better than never, so even if you’ve already been together for years it is still a good idea.

The courts will generally follow what you both agreed if, and a court is even more likely to uphold the agreement if both of you also had some legal advice about what you were doing.
