The Couples Contract (Samlivskontrakt) is a essential legal document for unmarried couples living together in Denmark. This agreement becomes increasingly important as more couples choose cohabitation over traditional marriage. The document serves to establish clear legal frameworks for property ownership, financial responsibilities, and living arrangements, helping to prevent future disputes and providing legal certainty for both parties. It is particularly relevant given that Danish law does not provide the same automatic rights to cohabiting couples as it does to married couples. The contract should be drafted in accordance with Danish contract law and other relevant legislation, including property law and inheritance provisions. It is recommended for any unmarried couples living together or planning to live together, especially those sharing significant assets or financial responsibilities.
