Domestic Partnership Agreement
South Australia Australia
with Bonus Legal Will Kit
When to use this agreement
Couples living together in South Australia deserve the security of a mutually agreed contract in writing for their own protection.
In the event of a breakdown in the relationship or the death of a partner, a Domestic Partnership Agreement (also known as a Cohabitation agreement) will help to clarify respective property rights, financial commitments and the liabilities arising from joint tenancy. Here, the rights and obligations can be spelled out in plain english eliminating the burden of uncertainty.
The Domestic Partnership agreement specifies that property owned by a party before the execution of the agreement, shall
remain the property of that party. Debts are treated in much the same manner.
In the event the parties separate the document sets out how property acquired jointly should be dealt with including gifts.
Cohabitation Agreements are agreements made between people who are living together or intending to live together but not intending to get married.
Couples intending to get married should define their relationship with a Prenuptial Agreement.
In South Australia the Domestic Partners Property Act 1996 only applies to heterosexual de facto relationships, and in the absence of a child of the relationship, property interests may only be altered if the relationship has existed at least 3 years.
When establishing your Domestic Partnership Agreement it's sensible to give some thought to effecting a legal Will, that's why we've included a bonus Will Kit.
