Cohabitation Agreement: A New Legal Form for Partnerships.
The act introduces the option to sign a notarial agreement that formalizes the relationship of two adults, regardless of their gender. This gives couples new rights and protections in financial, health, and inheritance matters, making it easier to build a life together without getting married.
Key points
Any couple (including same-sex couples) can enter into a cohabitation agreement with a notary, gaining the status of a 'close person'.
Partners can decide on their assets: the default is separation of property, but they can also choose community property.
The agreement can provide mutual access to medical information and authorize partners to act on each other's behalf with authorities.
Wills can be attached to the agreement to regulate inheritance matters between the partners.
The act does not grant the right to joint adoption or to adopt a partner's child.
