Personal Legal Documents
We understand that you are busy, but ensuring that your personal legal documents are in order is very important. If you are living with your partner, in many respects you are operating as a married couple, but more often than not, without the legalities in place. If it should end, it can be much like a divorce. Other personal legal documents that are important are anti-nuptial contracts (although these must be registered in order to be valid).
All of our contracts are provided to you in word and pdf format for your future use. Also, we are available to assist you in the process of ensuring that your personal legal documents are in order. Making legal contracts easy is our business.
Cohabitation Agreement for buying immovable property
R475
Get More InfoIf you are co-habiting you absolutely must conclude a Cohabitation Agreement, it is one of the most important Personal Legal Documents.
Generally, people take the trouble to get an anti-nuptial contract prepared before they get married. However, by and large, people cohabit without taking the trouble to sign a cohabitation agreement. If the relationship ends, the disputes between parties that co-habit is often more complicated than couples who go through a divorce.
Central to cohabitation arrangements is the immovable property where the parties choose to live. It may be a property acquired by the parties jointly, or, it may already be owned by one of the parties. Lastly, either one, or both of the parties could lease the property from a third party.
If the parties split, in the midst of their pain and anger, they are prone to look back and reconcile how much they may have contributed and establish whether or not there is a claim against the other party. Where the parties are co-owners or even co-tenants, the prospect of only one party funding the property in the future also plays a role.
In the absence of a written cohabitation agreement, clearly definining the terms and conditions of co-habitation, these disputes often end up in litigation and once you have lawyers involved, your hard earned capital goes down the drain.
People who get married aren’t naïve – they understand that things can go wrong. It is not that they believe that their marriage will fail, they simply provide for the worst, while expecting the best.
What are the topics that a co-habitation agreement should cover:
1. Who will sign the lease (if the property is leased) 2. What contributions will the parties make toward the property and toward general household expenses 3. If one party contributes in excess of his or her pro rata share of costs, will there be a right of recourse. Importantly, this will not always be the same answer for property related costs as opposed to general household expenditure. 4 If there is a break-up – who will move and when 5. If there are disputes, how will they be resolved.
