Love Hurts – Cohabitation and Trusts of Land

Join John Campbell as he delivers the next webinar from our Property Practice.

On 5 June 2026, the government published its long awaited consultation, “A Fairer End to Relationships”,  setting out its proposals to reform the law governing financial arrangements on divorce, financial provision for cohabitants on separation and inheritance provision for cohabitants on death.

This webinar will look at the second of these; the often misunderstood law governing how property should be dealt with when cohabiting partners separate.

This webinar will consider:

• How the existing law operates in practice;
• The most commonly encountered legal and procedural pitfalls and how to avoid them; and
• The proposals for reform.

This webinar will be of interest to those practising in real property litigation, familial disputes over land and all those with an interest in cohabitation rights.
