Separating wealth?

Assume my partner and I are 100% equals and with similar work opportunities but I'm earning more. We are unmarried, living together in a strong relationship for over 10 years, planning to have 1 child. We've bought a place together and want to buy another place together. I will be funding a lot more as I earn more. What are your thoughts on how to do this? shall we split things equally? Or shall I put my part under my name and theirs under their name? If I was in their position, I'd have liked to be helped, on the other hand, they will be getting equity increase by owning part of the property, so we will both be better off if/when we sell up.

Get a declaration of trust set up this will protect your share if you split up (not married).

You can put specific amounts for the deposit then split the % by who is contributing the lions share to the mortgage.

I would 50-50 because you have a child.
