Supported scope

  • Clarifies plainly there is no 'common law marriage' in England and Wales.
  • Records home ownership, joint assets, debts and how household expenses are split.
  • Cross-references a separate Declaration of Trust for a jointly owned home, rather than embedding ownership shares here.
  • Records intentions for children, with a clear caveat that the court retains its own jurisdiction.
  • Executed as a deed, with a two-party signature block witnessed separately.

UKDocs AI is a document-drafting service, not a law firm or solicitor. A June 2026 government consultation on possible statutory rights for cohabitants has closed but is not yet law — this document reflects the current legal position.
