The Civil Partnership Act
came into force on 5 December 2005.
The Civil Partnership Act
enables same-sex couples, following a formal registration of the
relationship, to enjoy similar benefits to married couples in areas
such as personal taxation, pension benefits and
inheritance.
Civil partnerships can be
dissolved after one year. Civil partners can make
financial claims against each other in respect of income, assets
and pensions on dissolution.
We are able to guide
you through any planning before entering into a civil partnership
such as pre-partnership agreements, as well as issues following the
end of a civil partnership.
