Who has a cohabitation agreement. Why did you get one? How has it been received by OH? How much did it cost?
I am in Scotland. Background is purchasing a home with partner. Unequal equity split in my favour. No mortgage will be required. Which for him will be a benefit. For me it will be same as.
I have 2 children and the equity in the home is their inheritance in my will to go to them.
he has no children. An elderly mother and sisters that I don’t think he would want his estate to pass to.
How do I respectfully structure a cohabitation agreement that protects the kids in my death and us all if we seperate. Partner highly understanding that my part is the kids inheritance.
I was thinking of adding him to my death in service/ pension beneficiary as he has me on his.
I also need confirmation from him that if he dies the house comes to me so that the kids have a home.
It’s such a hard topic to navigate. I come into the relationship with more finance than he does but he is set to benefit now on having increased disposable income which I hope he invests well to have his own pot of money.
Love you hear experiences and opinions.
any hints and tips pls
it’s taken me a long time to trust again having being burnt in marriage.
