Cohabitation agreement services — Notary — Professionals
Providers should distinguish substantive relationship/property advice from a notarial act on an already prepared document. Obtain instructions through the appropriate professional process, assess conflicts and make no universal claim about the agreement's effect on property, succession or family rights.
Service scope
Preparation or formalisation of an agreement concerning a couple's shared arrangements, only within the professional's local authority. Legal effect and required form vary, and notarial involvement does not automatically replace independent advice for each person.
What is normally included
- Clarifying the agreement's intended purpose
- Authorised drafting or formalisation
- Coordination of signing and independent-advice boundaries
What is not included
- A universal standard agreement
- Determining each partner's entitlement
- Promising enforceability in every jurisdiction
Qualification checks
- Clarify drafting versus formalisation
- Check local professional authority
- Identify conflicts and advice needs
- Confirm the relevant jurisdictions
- Define revision and execution stages
Quote guidance
State whether the fee covers consultation, drafting, revisions and signing or only an authentication step. Separate any independent adviser, translation or additional jurisdiction work so both participants understand the financial scope.
Lead risks
- The parties may not have agreed the underlying arrangements
- An existing foreign draft may require a different professional
- Expectations may exceed the limited notarial act
