Document background
The Cohabitation Agreement Online is a essential legal document for unmarried couples living together in the Netherlands who wish to formalize their living arrangement and protect their rights. Unlike marriage or registered partnership, cohabitation does not automatically create legal rights and obligations under Dutch law, making this agreement crucial for defining property ownership, financial responsibilities, and mutual obligations. The document is particularly relevant given the increasing number of couples choosing cohabitation over traditional marriage in the Netherlands. It addresses key aspects such as property division, shared expenses, inheritance arrangements, and separation provisions, providing legal clarity and protection for both partners. This agreement can be customized to accommodate various living situations and can be updated as circumstances change, offering a flexible yet formal framework for modern relationships.
