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.
