About this Gig
Unmarried couples purchasing property or living together do not enjoy the statutory protections of marriage. I am Gerald A. Garcia, a licensed U.S. Attorney (Bar No. 004322). I draft enforceable Cohabitation Agreements (Living Together Contracts) that protect your independent assets and establish clear financial rules.
Without a formal agreement, separating unwed partners often face messy civil litigation over real estate, joint savings, and household debts. I draft contracts tailored to your state's legal framework to keep your property protected.
What I address:
- Real estate ownership, mortgage obligations, and equity buyout clauses
- Allocation of household living expenses and shared accounts
- Separate property preservation and debt liability insulation
- Division of jointly acquired personal property upon separation
- Dispute resolution and mediation mechanisms
Protect your relationship and your assets with clear, legally sound terms. Place your order today.

FAQ
Why do unmarried couples need a cohabitation agreement?
Unmarried couples do not benefit from statutory equitable distribution or community property divorce laws. A cohabitation agreement creates an enforceable contract defining who owns what, preventing costly legal battles if the relationship ends
Are cohabitation agreements legally binding in all U.S. states?
Yes, in the vast majority of states, cohabitation agreements are recognized as binding contracts under standard contract law, provided they are supported by valid legal consideration (excluding domestic or sexual services) and drafted p
Can this agreement cover real estate that we jointly purchase?
Yes. The agreement can clearly outline down payment contributions, ongoing mortgage obligations, repair cost splits, and how equity will be distributed or bought out should one partner decide to leave.
How does a cohabitation agreement differ from a prenup?
A cohabitation agreement is for unmarried couples living together with no immediate marital requirement. A prenuptial agreement is drafted specifically in anticipation of marriage and takes legal effect only once the marriage is formalized.
What happens if we get married in the future?
The cohabitation agreement can include a sunset provision stating that it will automatically terminate upon marriage, at which point the parties may execute a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement to govern the marriage.
