Why BC Couples Get Cohabitation Agreements

British Columbia couples choose cohabitation agreements for many reasons — protecting pre-relationship assets, clarifying financial expectations, planning for children from previous relationships, or addressing unique family situations.

  • Protect real estate

    Keep pre-relationship homes, investment properties, or family inheritances clearly yours.

  • Avoid inheriting debt

    Set clear rules on which debts are individual and which are shared.

  • Plan for retirement

    Pensions and RRSPs deserve explicit treatment, not default rules.

  • Provide for children

    Children from previous relationships need protection in any future estate planning.
