Ep.14 - Cohabitation agreements

Unmarried couples are the fastest growing family type in the UK. So with couples deciding not to get married and instead buying property and living together, what happens to the house if the relationship breaks down? Is signing the sale contract all they need to do?

In the first episode of series 2 of the Explaining family law podcast, Tim and Jen are joined by Mills & Reeve Principal Associate Sue Brookes. Together they discuss the importance of cohabitation agreements, their benefits and the role they can play in protecting assets in the event of relationship breakdown.
