Civil Partnerships
The Civil Partnership Act 2011 creates a new intimate relationship between two parties (including same-sex partnerships).
Once registered, civil partnerships can have significant consequences in a number of areas (ie) it can revoke a will, entitle a party to make a claim upon a deceased party’s estate and create an entitlement to property of the parties’ relationship (upon separation) that may not have previously existed.
