Future Proofing.
Even in the most stable relationships, it’s worth understanding how financial decisions made during a relationship (for example, how you spend inheritance or transfer assets) could affect your position if the relationship breaks down.
At Cohen Family Law, we encourage clients to take a proactive, not reactive, approach. We explain the legal consequences of decisions so you can make informed choices and avoid unexpected issues later.
This isn’t about assuming the worst; it’s about having clarity, protecting your interests, understanding the potential consequences, and feeling confident in the decisions you make.

Frequently Asked Questions
Isn’t future proofing only for people worried about their relationship?
Not at all. Many clients use this service while in strong relationships as a way of understanding their options and protecting themselves if circumstances change.
When might future proofing be helpful?
Future proofing can be useful in situations such as marriage, inheritance, buying property, receiving significant gifts or other financial changes/events. We will explain how these might be treated legally if the relationship later breaks down.
What is the benefit of seeking advice early?
It is much easier to take protective steps in advance than to resolve disputes later. Early advice can save stress, uncertainty and cost in the future.
Do you only advise wealthy clients?
No. Future proofing can benefit anyone who wants to make informed decisions and ensure their interests are protected, whatever their financial position.
Can you help with inherited assets?
Yes. We can advise on how inherited assets may be treated legally in the event of a relationship breakdown and how best to safeguard them within a relationship.
What if I decide not to take any action?
That’s absolutely fine. Our role is to ensure you are fully informed, so you can make the decision that feels right for you.
