Residential Property is not solely concerned with property itself. There may be instances where a couple live together in a house registered in only one of their names, or where a couple have just started to live together.

Our Family Department will be pleased to assist.

In such circumstances you may wish to consider a “living together” agreement. This may cover such things as:

• who owns the house
• responsibility for outgoings
• ownership of contents
• bank accounts
• dispute resolution
