Cohabitation Agreements

A legally sound Cohabitation Agreement is essential for unmarried couples in Ontario, as the law does not provide the same automatic financial protections as it does for married couples. At Drake Law, our family lawyers prepare clear, effective agreements to secure your individual assets and financial futures, providing certainty from the start.

Common-law separation often leads to costly litigation over property division based on complex legal theories. A Cohabitation Agreement proactively bypasses this uncertainty by defining terms while your relationship is strong. The agreement ensures asset protection—covering everything from inherited wealth to the sale of real estate and spousal support arrangements.

At Drake Law, we use our comprehensive background in family, real estate, and estate law to create agreements that are legally sound and enforceable. We prioritize a balanced, collaborative process, encouraging both partners to receive Independent Legal Advice (ILA). A Cohabitation Agreement is a powerful tool for protecting your assets and establishing a clear framework. Secure your peace of mind today. Contact Drake Law to schedule a consultation.
