Protect Your Property Rights
Did you know that the doctrine of community property may apply to your relationship even if you are not married or in a registered domestic partnership? In Washington, your property may be subject to division if you are in a "meretricious" relationship. A meretricious relationship is a relationship that resembles a marriage. So if you are living with a significant other for any significant period of time, you need a property agreement to protect your rights.
Domestic Partnerships
Although Washington does not yet recognize same sex marriage, it does extend property and contract rights to same sex couples that allow for the legal recognition of same sex property agreements. If you are in a registered domestic partnership, or you live with a same sex partner, attorney Jennifer Rydberg can advise you or your property rights and draft a property agreement that meets your individual needs.
Multi-Family Vacation Property
Another common scenario for property agreements is multiple ownership of a cabin or vacation home. Jennifer Rydberg can help. She can draft a property agreement and help family members organize a family limited liability company (LLC) to own and maintain the property.
