This package is based upon the fact that you and your partner have agreed the basic principles of your cohabitation i.e. how your assets are to be dealt with both during your relationship and in the event of it's breakdown.
As family solicitors we are only able to be instructed by and advise one of you. Your partner will need to seek their own legal advice upon the Cohabitation Agreement. This is important for a number of reasons, our advice to you maybe different to the advice which is correct for your partner and so if we were to see you both there may be a “conflict of interests”.
Another reason is, that in order to make the Agreement as legally binding as possible it is very important that you both have the benefit of independent legal advice before signing the agreement. |
