Cohabitation Agreements

Houston Lawyers Assisting Clients With Cohabitation Agreements

Whether you are married or in a long-term relationship with your partner, you need reassurance that your assets and future are protected. Cohabitation agreements may safeguard unmarried couples and provide them with peace of mind.

In some situations, such as when applying for a mortgage or determining child support, domestic partners are treated like married couples. This is not the case when it comes to inheritance or when one partner seeks to access the other's pension plan. At Hayes & Wilson, PLLC, we assist unmarried couples in acheiving the same protection as married couples.

Hayes & Wilson, PLLC is a full-service estate planning and probate law firm that provides practical legal services with knowledge and compassion. Our attorneys work with both heterosexual and homosexual domestic partners, helping them develop effective plans to protect the financial and legal aspects of their relationships.

Cohabitation agreements can help couples proactively outline shared responsibilities and plan for future needs, such as:

  • Designating a partner as a healthcare agent
  • Naming a partner as a conservator or guardian should the other become incapacitated
  • Addressing how expenses such as utilities and mortgage payments will be covered
  • Outlining how parental roles will be preserved should the relationship end
  • Determining how mutual property will be divided should the relationship end or upon a partner's death

Cohabitation agreements can be complex. We work closely with you to make sure everyone involved agrees to the plan. We help unmarried couples develop enforceable wills and trusts to protect their loved ones and pass their property as they prefer. Our attorneys carefully review every detail and are committed to walking you through the legal processes to make sure your assets and your loved ones' future are protected.
