Living with your Partner

 

In the excitement of a happy relationship, it is understandable that many couples fail to appreciate that there are legal risks once you move in together.

 

By speaking to our lawyers, you can find out how the law will affect your situation, the rights you might have and what you can do to try and reduce the risks.

 

For instance, if the house is only in your partner's name then usually you have no right to share in any of the sale proceeds unless you can prove that you have made payments towards the mortgage or deposit or paid for major work to the house. Our lawyers can advise you how best to protect your financial contribution.

 

There are many other areas that can be a source of problems for people living together such as your children, banking arrangements, pensions, wills and separation.
