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

In 2025, an individual in Texas sought assistance in drafting a cohabitation agreement as they prepared to purchase a home with their long-term partner. The client, who was planning to contribute a significant down payment and cover the majority of monthly mortgage costs, wanted to ensure clarity regarding their respective financial contributions in the event of separation or death. This agreement was critical for them since they were not married and needed legal protection for their shared interests. As a result, the client received seven proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $445 to $795, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of less than a week.
