Document background
The Living Together Agreement serves as a crucial legal document for unmarried couples in Denmark who wish to establish clear rights and responsibilities in their cohabitation arrangement. Unlike married couples, cohabitants in Denmark don't automatically receive certain legal protections, making this agreement essential for defining property rights, financial obligations, and separation terms. The document should be considered when couples plan to live together or are already cohabiting, particularly when sharing significant assets, property, or financial responsibilities. It addresses key areas such as expense sharing, property ownership, inheritance rights, and dispute resolution, all within the framework of Danish law. The agreement can be customized to accommodate various living situations and can be especially important when partners have significant assets, children, or business interests.
