FAQ
Cohabitation is an arrangement where two people are not married but live together.
Whether you've been living together for 1 year, 10 years or even 50 years, if you're not married, you have no automatic legal right over your partner's assets.Often someone will move into a property that their partner already owns, or it may be that one person can't afford to contribute to the purchase of a new house.
Legal Rules that Govern Property Rights of Unmarried Couples Each unmarried partner is presumed to own his or her own property and debts unless you've deliberately combined your assets--for example, by opening a joint account or putting both names on a deed to your home.
If you rent your home, you may not have an automatic right to stay if you separate from your partner.If the tenancy is in your sole name, or jointly with your partner, you are entitled to stay.
Cohabitation and Marriage Agreements can be reviewed and overturned by the court in certain circumstances, such as where the agreement is objectively unreasonable, or if the agreement was entered into through undue influence, duress or coercion.
In general, unmarried couples can't claim ownership of each other's property in the event of a breakup. This applies to big investments (such as a house) and smaller items (such as furniture). Gifts made during the relationship remain the property of the recipient.

Some couples choose not to enter into a marriage or legally recognized domestic partnership but choose to enter into a cohabitation agreement instead. Oftentimes, these agreements are made orally and difficult to enforce after the relationship has ended.
Cohabitation Agreement Requirements The majority of states now recognizes these cohabitation agreements, though many require that the agreement be in writing and signed by the parties.Only a small number of recent cases have held that contracts between unmarried cohabitants are unenforceable.
