How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Cohabitation Agreement in Ohio

In 2021, a personal client in Ohio sought assistance with drafting a cohabitation agreement as they prepared to purchase a house together. The client and their partner wanted to clearly outline a 50/50 split of payments and assets related to the home, considering the fact that only one name would be on the mortgage due to varying credit scores. This legal document was essential for establishing clear financial responsibilities and rights between the partners. As a result, the client received three proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $250 to $750, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of over a week.
