Civil Partnership Agreement Solicitors Paisley, Bearsden & Glasgow, Scotland

The lead-up to registering a civil partnership is an exciting time, but it can also be stressful with lots to do and many moving parts to consider. Wright & Crawford’s civil partnership agreements service can help alleviate some of the pressure by getting your mutual finances off on the right track. In the unfortunate event that you do later decide to separate, a civil partnership agreement can help you to do so with minimum stress, allowing you to preserve the best memories of your time together.

What does a civil partnership agreement involve?

A civil partnership agreement is a legally binding contract entered into before or during a civil partnership which sets out the way assets will be divided in the event of dissolution of the partnership or the death of one partner. This allows couples to decide upon their financial arrangements for themselves, rather than leaving this to the courts. Issues addressed may include:

• How items such as debts, bills and mortgage payments will be divided between partners;
• The division of joint assets in the event of relationship breakdown;
• Entitlement to spousal support in the event of relationship breakdown;
• Pension arrangements; and,
• The protection of each partner’s individual assets.
