How We Can Help
We understand that these conversations can feel sensitive. Our role is to guide you with clarity and care, helping you feel comfortable with the decisions you make together. Here’s what you can expect from the process:
Our aim is to make the process feel calm and manageable, so everything is clear and considered from the start.
Cohabitation Agreements and Declarations of Trust
If you’re not married or in a civil partnership but live together, a cohabitation agreement can offer similar clarity over financial arrangements. For couples buying a property together, a Declaration of Trust can set out how ownership is shared. These can work alongside or independently of nuptial agreements to help avoid disputes and protect your interests.
Planning Ahead with a Legal Agreement
Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements are a way to clarify financial expectations and avoid misunderstandings, helping both partners feel secure about the future.
Protect what you’ve built
If you own property, savings, or a business from before your marriage, an agreement can help ensure those assets are treated fairly if things change later on.
Support children from previous relationships
An agreement can outline how certain assets will be preserved for children, offering peace of mind for blended families.
Agree on financial expectations
Setting things out clearly — such as what happens with joint accounts, property or debt — can reduce confusion and help avoid future disputes.
Handle things calmly and clearly
Making these decisions in advance means less stress and uncertainty in difficult circumstances — and a greater sense of understanding between you.
Emotional and Practical Support
Conversations about legal agreements in a relationship can feel awkward or uncomfortable at first. We understand that this is about more than paperwork — it’s about trust, communication, and feeling heard.
You’ll be supported by a solicitor who listens, explains things clearly, and helps you make decisions that feel right for you. Whether you’re planning together or approaching things alone, we’re here to offer thoughtful, steady guidance throughout.
Above all, we are here to put your needs first.
