Cohabitation Agreements Ireland

Blanchardstown, Castleknock, 27 Upper Mount Street, Dublin City Centre

What are Cohabitation Agreements Ireland?

These agreements can be put in place either during the course of a relationship (similar to a prenupitual agreement), or can be a Separation Agreement post the breakdown of a relationship of two cohabitants / partners who live together.

I have separated from my partner who I lived with, can we put a formal legal arrangement in place?

Yes, a Cohabitant’s Agreement regulating elements of the relationship breakdown can be agreed. This can deal with a variety of issues such as property ownership, children and access, and broader financial and practical arrangements.

Sometimes this can end up in a legal dipute and you may need legal assistance from an expert family lawyer to negotiate a way forward for everyone that is affordable and fair.

Is there anything I should considerations before purchasing a property with a new partner / girlfriend / boyfriend?

How do I protect myself when buying property with a partner?

If you are considering now purchasing a house with a new partner, you do have the option of putting in place a Co-Ownership or Cohabitation Agreement in Ireland.

This will deal with the opting out of the provisions of the Civil Partnership and Rights and Obligations of Cohabitant’s Act 2010 and can regulate the future breakdown of a non marital relationship or the situation where co-owners wish to move on, but are not necessarily together in a clear strategic manner that you both agree.

If one party is putting considerable more funding into the purchase of the property such as an inheritance or a gift from parents that they wish to protect, the cohabitation agreements in Ireland can be really useful so everyone knows where they stand and it can put any concerns to bed, leaving you both with piece of mind to move forward freely of any worries or pressures from parents or others.

If you wish to put in place such a Cohabitation Agreement in Ireland at Carmody Moran Solicitors LLP, we can discuss this with you also at the time of your purchase of a property.

I was looking for a family law consultation and asked Carmody Moran for one. Unfortunately, they didn't have the capacity, but at least they were nice enough to call me back and reply by email.So the very least you can expect from these specialists is the right attitude (unlike from many others out there on the market), but likely a lot more!

We recently engaged Carmody Moran Solicitors for the purchase of our home, on receiving a recommendation for Caila Ryan specifically. Caila and the team were a pleasure to deal with. Caila was incredibly responsive, efficient and diligent throughout the process. As first time buyers, Caila explained all steps clearly and concisely to us, which eased our stress. Caila and the team went above and beyond for us - and accommodated ad hoc meetings when required. We highly recommend Caila and the team at Carmody Moran.

I have no hesitation recommending her.

Joe Marsh

We recently closed on a first time house purchase and we were very pleased with how the whole process was handled at Carmody Moran. They always responded clearly and promptly to the many queries I had along the way and were on the ball with following up issues with the sellers solicitors to keep the process moving.The reason I went with them originally over other options was because they gave a very clear breakdown for the charges and the quoted price we were given was transparent and easy to understand compared to other quotes I received.I will definitely use them again if the need arises and recommend them to my friends and family.

I got the keys to my new house a few weeks back. I cannot recommend Carmody Moran Solicitors highly enough. It was a bit lengthy as I was buying and selling at the same time. In such cases you need experienced and competent solicitors such as Carmody Moran Solicitors.Stephanie and Helen were a pleasure to work with. Very transparent and communicative. Also occasionally dealt with Lucy and Caila. They were brilliant as well.I would like to say Thank you to the entire Carmody Moran team.Kenneth

My partner and I recently made the acquisition of our first home and it was a lengthy and difficult process, due to the fact we were buying from a receiver.In such difficult cases, you will need a legal representation as competent and professional as Carmody Moran Solicitors on your side.We were primarily dealing with Stephanie who gave us regular updates, helped us understand what is happening and what to do. We felt our interest always came first which made every appointment with her something we looked forward to.We were also occasionally in contact with Lucy, Niamh and other brilliant members of the firm, all of whom provided an excellent level of support and knowledge in Stephanie's absence.I couldn't recommend Carmody Moran enough. I would like to give a heartfelt thank-you on behalf of myself and my partner to every one involved at the firm who helped us make our dream a reality. We will not hesitate to call upon your services again should the occasion arise.Andrew.

Anthony and his team went above and beyond for me, everything was always looked after and I was constantly kept in the loop for my RTA case. From phone calls to emails to dealing with insurers.
