Your Home & Living Security
Protection around the home and preventing a surviving partner being forced out.
There is no such thing as a “Common Law Marriage” in the UK. If you are cohabiting without a specialist estate plan, the law treats you as single, leaving your partner vulnerable to losing everything overnight.

Many couples build a life together believing that the law will recognise the relationship in the same way they do. But living together for years does not automatically create the legal protections that marriage provides.
Living together for years doesn't automatically give your partner the legal rights you may expect.
Sharing a mortgage doesn't necessarily mean that everything is protected in the way you assume.
Having children together does not automatically give an unmarried partner the same inheritance or decision-making rights as a spouse.
Protection around the home and preventing a surviving partner being forced out.
Making sure assets are passed according to the person's wishes.
Ensuring guardianship arrangements are properly planned.
Ensuring the partner can have appropriate authority in medical and financial matters.

Don't let a sudden separation or unexpected tragedy ruin your estate plans. Without a protective legal framework, a lifetime of shared building can be completely erased by the courts in a single afternoon, transferring your assets straight to relatives you may not even speak to.

Being together for years does not automatically give an unmarried partner the legal protection they may expect.
