The Benefits of a Domestic Partnership Agreement

A domestic partnership agreement can define the rights and responsibilities of the parties regarding the ownership of personal property, the ownership of real property, living expenses, and a great deal more. It can eliminate or minimize the likelihood of litigation should the relationship break up. It can protect the inheritance rights of children born of previous marriages, just as a prenuptial agreement can. A domestic partnership agreement can strengthen a relationship by removing uncertainty over the possible division of property should the relationship dissolve. It can apply to both heterosexual and same sex relationships.
