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

In 2024, a personal client in Washington posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a cohabitation agreement. The client, part of an unmarried couple in the process of purchasing their first home together, aimed to establish clear and respectful terms for their financial responsibilities and ownership stakes. With a shared desire for equal partnership, they wanted to ensure both parties were protected in the event of a future separation, outlining arrangements for property division and the management of any future income generated from the property. As a result, the client received two proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $750. All proposals were submitted to meet the client's requested deadline of over a week, allowing the couple to proceed confidently with their investment in the new home.
