For unmarried couples contemplating purchasing a home together, a cohabitation agreement is essential. This agreement will spell out how the property will be held and how it will be divided or disposed of should the relationship cease or in the event of death. The agreement can also go into additional detail regarding how the couple will divide mortgage payments, real estate taxes, maintenance and general upkeep, utilities, repairs and improvements, furniture and household goods. The failure to have such an agreement can lead to a forced sale of the house should the relationship end or an unintended inheritance upon death.
