MARRIAGE AND LIVING TOGETHER

Do you decide to take the next step together? There are several ways to officially record your relationship. In addition to getting married, you can also choose to enter into a registered partnership or have a cohabitation contract drawn up.

MARRIAGE OR REGISTERED PARTNERSHIP

A marriage and a registered partnership are both solemnized by a civil registrar. There are legal consequences to both a marriage and a registered partnership. For example, about common and private assets.

The main rule is that everything you do during the marriagewhether earning or building up a registered partnership becomes common. What you had before remains private. However: if you previously had assets together with your partner in an unequal relationship, this private assets are joint after the marriage. Suppose you bought a house as unmarried cohabitants of which one owned 40% and the other 60%, then this will be 50%/50% after the marriage/partnership. An unequal contribution to equity in the house also becomes common through marriage or registered partnership. You are, of course, free to deviate from the regulations laid down by law. You must then draw up prenuptial agreements or partnership conditions before the yes word at the civil-law notary.

LIVING TOGETHER WITHOUT BEING MARRIED

If you decide to start living together, the law does not provide for this. Not even if you have been living together for a long time. You can therefore make agreements yourself about the division of, for example, the costs of the joint household and the sharing of pension. It is important for you to know that in principle the Tax and Customs Administration and your pension fund only take into account a cohabitation contract in the form of a notarial deed.

Arrangements in prenuptial agreements, partnership conditions, cohabitation contract :

• how household costs are shared;
• that your partner shares in your retirement pension or is eligible for a partner's pension in the event of death;
• how business assets are secured in the event of divorce;
• that the bankruptcy of one spouse does not affect the assets of the other spouse;
• that the partner with the lowest income can also build up wealth;
• that inheritance tax is saved because you, as cohabitants, are eligible for the partner exemption.

Our specialists provide you with the best legal advice!
