What is a Living Together Agreement?
This is for couples who are not married but would like to have clarity around the finances and children in their relationship, especially in case the relationship ends. Your lawyer will obtain the information needed from you and create an agreement for your signature.
What’s included in the Fixed Fee?
You will be allocated a lawyer to handle your case from amongst our team of fully qualified and experienced family law experts.
You will be provided with email, direct dial and mobile telephone contact numbers for your lawyer and be served under the terms of our Client Charter which includes a number of guaranteed service standards offered to all clients.
The fee assumes that you have agreed the general nature of what you would like to happen if your relationship ends.
We include:
- Obtaining the information we need to be able to draft the agreement
- Telling you of issues you might wish to consider
- Drafting the agreement
- Arranging for correct signature
- Storing the original agreement
We make an allowance (in addition to the drafting) of 1.5 hours for discussions and advice for you. This is normally perfectly sufficient but does not allow for extra fees in those exceptional cases where there are, for example, a lot of discussions about exactly what should be in the agreement, disagreements between you and so on. If you anticipate that such discussions will be necessary contact Woolley & Co to obtain a detailed quote for this work.
Within this fixed fee we advise you of the issues you ought to include in your agreement, however we cannot advise you of what agreement you ought to make as that would be based upon a detailed consideration of all of your financial information and would need reports from IFAs and so on. If you anticipate that such discussions will be necessary contact Woolley & Co to obtain a detailed quote for this work.
Why Pay a Fixed Fee?
By paying a fixed fee at the start of your case you have certainty about the costs involved. The alternative is to pay an hourly rate (currently £195 plus VAT) for the time your lawyer spends on your case. We believe you should pay for the work that needs to be done, rather than the time it takes to do it.
