| Not
Married? |
- The law is complicated
- Contrary to popular belief, if you have cohabited
with someone for even many years, you do not
necessarily acquire any rights to their property
- If a house is in the sole name of the other partner, to
achieve an interest in it, you would have to show that you
had made an actual financial contribution towards the purchase
of the property and that you both intended that you should
have some interest in the property.
- There is no simple answer to who owns what
- You ought to take legal advice
