The same concerns and considerations by couples who do plan to marry and who draw up a premarital contract apply to couples who plan never to marry. There is nothing illegal about an unmarried couple living together. Any governmental interference with a couple’s right to live together would be considered a violation of the couple’s right to free association under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. An unmarried couple living together can enter into an agreement to share expenses or acquire property, including real estate. An unmarried couple can also enter into a trust, which would allow for a more specific distribution of certain assets and would protect the couple in the event of disability or incapacity of one of the partners.
