Because common law marriage is not recognized in New Jersey, this is true even if the couple lived together for 20 years. That does not mean, however, that assets which are legally held jointly cannot be divided.
In the Will, you will name who will have your Power of Attorney, appoint the Guardian and Executor for your minor children, and state your wishes for your assets. There may be state-specific tax and inheritance laws youll want to consider when creating a will.
Unmarried couples will still have joint rights to any property they actually own together, and all couples with children, regardless of marital status or agreement, will be bound by child support and child custody laws.
Unmarried couples have joint property rights in assets that they own together. Therefore, if you and your partner purchase real estate and title it in both names, you each own an interest in it. The same applies to other assets, including bank accounts and vehicles titled in both names.
Unmarried Couples and Property Rights If it can be established to the satisfaction of the court that a separating couples assets are jointly owned, the court will generally divvy them on a 50/50 basis unless one partner can provide written proof that he or she made a greater contribution to their acquisition.

Unmarried couples living together do not enjoy the same automatic property rights as married couples. Despite this, these couples can use cohabitation agreements or own property jointly to ensure their individual property rights. Many couples live together before marriage. Some remain together and never marry.
If the common intention is expressed in one instrument, the will may be called a joint will, and if the testators have executed two separate instrument to manifest their common intention, the will may be called a mutual will.
