How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Cohabitation Agreement in North Carolina

In 2023, an individual in North Carolina reached out for assistance in drafting a cohabitation agreement after two years of living together. The client was seeking a formal agreement to provide reassurance to their partner regarding financial protections in the event of separation, specifically addressing the division of equity from a shared home. The agreement aims to clarify the terms surrounding the home's sale and the division of proceeds, ensuring both parties feel secure in their financial contributions and arrangements. As a result, the client received four proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $370 to $1,000, all submitted in order to meet the client's requested deadline of over a week.
