Cohabitation agreements

It is common for couples to move in together without getting married. However, cohabitating couples should appreciate how difficult asset ownership issues can be in the event of separation.

Cohabitation agreements establish the arrangements for finances, property, and any children while the couple is living together and determine how these matters will be handled if the couple were to separate.

We can help you put a cohabitation agreement in place to protect your rights, assets, and property with your partner.

For more information, please contact our knowledgeable cohabitation agreement solicitors in King’s Lynn.

Prenuptial agreements

A prenuptial agreement refers to a type of legal agreement that a couple may choose to enter into before they get married.

These agreements are used to determine asset ownership, financial obligations, debts, and how assets would be divided if the couple unfortunately got divorced later.

Our family solicitors in King’s Lynn can help you draft a prenup that reflects your needs and safeguards your interests. For more information, please contact our team.

Postnuptial agreements solicitors

A postnuptial agreement essentially has the same function as a prenup, the difference being that it is entered into once a couple is married.

If you are married and would like to define your financial responsibilities and those of your spouse, our specialist family law solicitors in King’s Lynn can assist you.
