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

In 2023, a personal client in Michigan posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a cohabitation agreement. The client, an unmarried couple preparing to purchase a house together, wanted to establish a clear plan for property division in the event of a breakup. They sought an agreement that would allow one partner the option to buy the other out or, alternatively, to sell the property and split the proceeds based on individual contributions. As a result, the client received three proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $450 to $995, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of over a week.
