Commonly Asked Questions about Unmarried persons living together Wills

What is cohabitation? Living together with someone is also sometimes called cohabitation. A cohabiting couple is a couple that lives together in an intimate and committed relationship, who are not married to each other and not in a civil partnership. Cohabiting couples can be opposite-sex or same-sex.
Your cohabitation agreement could cover what will happen to your property upon break up or death but this wont cover your whole estate. A will is important as it covers what will happen to your whole estate, your arrangements after you pass, and the guardianship of children.
When unmarried partners break up, the division of property works differently than it does for married couples. If youre not married, then you generally keep what you came into the relationship with and anything that you earned or bought on your own during your time together.
After your spouse or partner dies, you can stay for at least six months in the home where you lived together, even in these situations: You didnt inherit the house from your spouse. You arent a band member. You arent an Indigenous person.
The surviving spouse or common-law partner qualifies under any federally or provincially legislated plan for compensation as a result of the death of the person that is attributable to the performance of duties.
Unfortunately, domestic couples often legally have no automatic right to inheritance if a partner passes away without a Will or any other Estate Plans in place. So for cohabitating couples, if one passes away without a Will (which is called dying Intestate), it can be devastating.
Beneficiary Designation/Pay on Death (POD) For example, an unmarried partner can be the beneficiary of a retirement account or life insurance. Also, he or she can be the pay on death beneficiary of certain accounts.
The legal heirs of an unmarried deceased person are their parents, siblings, and grandparents. If the deceased has no siblings or grandparents, their parents are their sole heirs. If the deceased has siblings or grandparents, they inherit the property in equal shares.
