If you are living together with your partner and you are not married, it is advisable to make cohabiting agreements to protect yourself, your assets and your children in the events of a separation. This is because, you and partner are not availed the same rights that married couples have.  For example, the financial orders available to married couples are not available to unmarried couples who are co-habiting and end up facing the same issues. Unlike married couples, once one of the either partner dies, the other surviving partner does not become immediately entitled to the property cohabited by the couple. The surviving partner would need to show the court that they have a beneficial interest in the property. This is a vigorous process that you may want to avoid.
