Pre-Civil Partnership Agreement
A Pre-Civil Partnership
Agreement is a formal written agreement entered into by a same-sex couple
before the registration of a civil partnership. It's purpose is to record
the parties' intentions as to the division of assets in the event that
the civil partnership breaks down.
Where the terms of the
agreement seem to favour one party rather than the other, it is important for
both parties to obtain independent legal advice to avoid a claim by one party
that he/she was forced to sign it accepting unfair terms.
This agreement is
suitable where either one party owns the home or both parties own the
home as "tenants in common". It states that all property owned
by each party prior to the agreement shall remain the property of that
party in the event of separation and sets out what should happen to
property acquired jointly after the date of the agreement.
