The Cohabitation Contract serves as a vital legal instrument under Maltese law for individuals who choose to live together without entering into marriage. This document, regulated primarily by the Cohabitation Act 2017, provides essential legal protection and clarity for cohabiting partners by establishing clear terms for their living arrangement. It typically includes provisions for property ownership, financial responsibilities, household management, and dispute resolution procedures. The agreement becomes particularly important in Malta's legal context, where cohabitation rights are specifically recognized and protected. This type of contract is recommended for any cohabiting partners who wish to formalize their arrangement and ensure clear understanding of rights and obligations, especially regarding property and financial matters.
