Best Consumer Protection Solicitors in Saint Albans

Cohabitation, couples who live together and share a life but don’t get married, is the fastest growing family group in the UK but the law still fails to recognise this family group……… What this means is if one half of the couple dies, the remaining half of the couple has no rights to the assets they leave behind. For example, where a property is jointly owned, if this property is owned as tenants in common, which means you both own a share of the property, when one half of the couple dies, their half won’t automatically transfer to their partner. If there is no valid Will, it will pass to blood relatives under the laws of intestacy. This could be children, parents or siblings but not a cohabitee. A Will can specify that the share of property is left to each other should the worse happen. It’s a relatively simple document that can offer legal protection without the need to marry.
