Cohabitation & Unmarried Couples Solicitors
Securing your rights in your committed partnership
Our solicitors can provide expert advice on the legal rights of unmarried couples planning to live together or separate.
At Giles Wilson, we can provide you with advice on the financial and other legal implications of living together as an unmarried couple – such as tax, wills and inheritance advice. We can also draft cohabitation agreements, providing advice on how to tie these in with future wills and deeds of trust for jointly owned property.
And if you are planning to separate, we can give you advice on your rights, with particular regard to how it affects your children, finances and property. These include cases under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996, as well as claims regarding property for resulting constructive trusts and proprietary estoppel.

You may even have had conversations with your siblings about how one of you would buy out the others. If this is something you are thinking about – you need to start planning now.

Conveyancing
The Act brought in a form of protection to the leasehold flat by a Certificate Scheme but unless these certificates are granted at the right time, and in the right way, the protection can be lost. It is crucial that the correct Certificates are in place if you want to sell your leasehold flat, or if you wish to buy one.
