Let’s  look at an example

Greg and Yana are a professional couple, each of them recovering from a previous marriage split. Although they both feel their new relationship will be strong and withstand the test of time, they are nervous about combining all of their finances before they have been together for a longer period.

What should they do?

Greg and Yana can set some ground rules about their property before entering into the next phase of their life together, which will give them the peace of mind that they seek.

Essentially, both Greg and Yana need to disclose to each other all assets and liabilities they each own before moving in together and include this disclosure in their Financial Agreement.

They are each responsible for the debts they bring to the table and each can leave with the assets they have brought into the partnership if things don’t work out.

If they choose, they can make provision to keep all of their finances totally separate or combine some of their finances, such as living expenses. Greg and Yana can also make provision for real estate they purchase together should they choose to do so.
