Marriage, civil partnerships and living together all bring with them rights and responsibilities.
We can help you prepare and plan for the future, as well as advising you if your relationship breaks down, or comes to an end on the death of your partner.
Marriage and Civil Partnership
We can advise you on your legal rights and responsibilities and have a great deal of experience in guiding you through the process of untangling your finances.
We can help you find the best way of resolving matters – sometimes couples are able to agree matters themselves. In this case, all that is needed is for a binding contract to be drawn-up, referred to as a minute of agreement or separation agreement.
If that’s not possible, we can advise you on the different methods of alternative dispute resolution, as well as negotiation and litigation.
Cohabitation
Scots Law changed in May 2006 - for the first time in the UK people who live together automatically acquire rights. We can advise you on the issues, and help guide you through the times ahead.
