Cohabitation: Law, Practice And Precedents

The continuing increase in unmarried cohabiting couples means that the law and practice relating to cohabitation continues to grow in significance for family and private client lawyers. The popular Cohabitation: Law Practice and Precedents provides an up-to-date and comprehensive account of the law and practice in the UK relating to cohabitants, together with practical precedent materials. Whether preparing a cohabitation contract, drafting wills for cohabiting couples, advising on rights on relationship breakdown or the death of a partner, or applying for a personal protection order or a parental responsibility agreement, practitioners will find authoritative analysis of the applicable law and expert guidance on procedural issues. This new edition has been extensively revised to take account of the prospective changes introduced by the Adoption and Children Act 2002, the implementation of the Land Registration Act 2002, as well as significant new case-law particularly in relation to property matters.
