Frequently Asked Questions

Our goal is to provide clarity, support, and effective solutions tailored to your unique legal requirements.

If you have children, or go on to have children whilst living with your partner, it’s possible to make applications for financial support, irrespective of what the Cohabitation Agreement says. We can provide you with detailed advice about this, tailored to your situation, when preparing a Cohabitation Agreement.

If you are considering getting married or entering into a civil partnership, then it is very important that you take legal advice before doing so. Your Cohabitation Agreement will cease to be valid, but you may wish to enter into a Pre-Nuptial Agreement.

In this situation it is essential that you have a Cohabitation Agreement or Declaration of No Interest. Your partner might be able to acquire an interest in your property by making certain financial or non-financial contributions during your relationship or even by relying on comments you make. Trying to untangle these issues if you separate can be very time consuming, expensive and distressing. It is therefore important to have a formal document to make it clear from the outset that these contributions will not give them an interest in your property.

A Declaration of Trust can regulate the ownership of property, but many couples want to cover other aspects of their finances, particularly as the law does not make any specific provision for unmarried couples.

It can give real peace of mind to have a written agreement in place so that you both know where you stand from the very beginning of your relationship or property ownership.

If you buy a property together when you are not married, or if one of you moves into the other partner’s property, there are certain default provisions that apply in law. These may not be fair in your situation. There is no real protection in law for unmarried couples and so it is important to find out where you stand and ensure that your Cohabitation Agreement reflects what you would like to happen in the unfortunate event of your relationship breaking down.

Our highly experienced solicitors here at TWM are well versed on director’s duties and will be able to advise and guide you on all aspects of the statutory and fiduciary duties that directors owe to a company under the CA 2006. Whether this be standalone advice or part of a transaction, we can assist in providing practical and informed advice tailored to your needs.

Please contact us if you require assistance.

If a director has breached their duties, there are some protections available to the director which can be provided by a court or the company itself.

  • Ratification – in certain instances, the shareholders may pass an ordinary resolution to ratify the breach of the director (although this is not an option if the director was dishonest or the act was unlawful or unauthorised). If the breaching director is also a shareholder, they will not be able to vote in this resolution, nor any connected persons.
  • Indemnity – the company may be able to give the director an indemnity against liability incurred to a person who is not the company nor an associated company. The indemnity cannot extend to criminal proceedings resulting in fines and a fine by a regulatory body.
  • Insurance – directors’ and officers’ insurance may be incepted by the company which can insure the directors against any liability arising out of exercising their duties.
  • Court relief – court can grant relief, full or partial, from liability if the breaching director shows they have acted honestly and reasonably. This is normally a last resort for a director and they can bring this action prior to any proceedings being brought against them.
