Think a cohabitation agreement is only for couples who own a house?

Think a cohabitation agreement is only for couples who own a house? Here's the truth: Under Scottish law, cohabitees have limited protection if their relationship ends. While a house might be part of it, it’s not the whole story. A claim should also cover the following: Contributions to savings or pensions Career sacrifices made to raise children Any situation where one partner walks away at an economic disadvantage compared to the other. A cohabitation agreement ensures that your circumstances are properly considered and provides clarity on what’s fair if you separate. Without one, your protection under the law is limited and you could be left at a disadvantage. Thinking of moving in together? Protect yourself with expert legal advice.
