How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Cohabitation Agreement in New Hampshire

In 2026, a personal client in New Hampshire posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a cohabitation agreement. The client had purchased a house with a partner, with ownership listed as tenants in common, and was especially concerned about protecting a significant down payment made on the property. Given that the mortgage was denied without her involvement, she sought to establish clear terms regarding the down payment, including provisions for her children in the event of her death and for the return of her deposit if the relationship ended. As a result, the client received six proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $699 to $1,200, all submitted to meet her requested deadline of less than a week.
