Cohabitation Agreement Notarization in Vaughan
Unmarried couples who live together often face uncertainty when it comes to legal rights — especially around property, finances, and shared responsibilities. A notarized cohabitation agreement can help both partners protect themselves and clarify expectations. At Notary Public Vaughan, we make the notarization process simple, professional, and legally binding — so you can move forward with confidence.
What Is a Cohabitation Agreement?
A cohabitation agreement is a legally recognized contract between two individuals living together in a common-law relationship. It outlines how property, financial obligations, and responsibilities will be handled during the relationship — and in the event of separation. Unlike informal agreements, notarized cohabitation contracts offer legal enforceability in Ontario.
Common reasons for creating one include:
- Clarifying ownership of property and assets
- Defining support obligations
- Outlining debt responsibilities
- Protecting financial independence
- Avoiding disputes during a potential breakup
Why It Needs to Be Notarized
Notarization strengthens your agreement by:
- Verifying each person’s identity
- Confirming the agreement was signed voluntarily
- Making the document admissible in court
- Preventing disputes about authenticity or coercion
- Adding credibility for legal professionals and mediators
What It Includes?
A typical cohabitation agreement will cover:
- Names and addresses of both partners
- Division of assets and property ownership
- Financial support responsibilities
- Terms related to jointly purchased items
- Debt division and financial obligations
- Clauses for separation, death, or moving apart
- Voluntary consent statement
- Official notarial seal and signature
When to Use It
A notarized cohabitation agreement is strongly recommended:
- Before moving in together
- When purchasing property jointly
- If either partner has significant debt or assets
- As part of a family estate or inheritance planning
- To support legal clarity in immigration or family court matters
