What steps can we take to protect each other if we’re not married?

Even if you’re not married, there are ways to make sure you and your partner are protected. You might consider:

• A Cohabitation Agreement – to set out your financial arrangements while you live together.
• A Declaration of Trust – to clarify who owns what if you buy property together.
• Wills – to ensure your wishes are followed and your partner is provided for.

Taking these steps can give you peace of mind and help avoid misunderstandings or costly disputes in the future.
