Living Together Agreement Form
Use a Living Together Agreement template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What this agreement form does
A Living Together Agreement Form records the terms unmarried partners choose for shared finances, property, household expenses, debts, and responsibilities. It is a private agreement between the people who sign it, not a federal form issued by the IRS, USCIS, or another U.S. agency. The partners review the provisions, complete their assigned information, and sign the same record. With signNow, a sender uploads the document, places or confirms fields, invites both partners, and stores the completed agreement with its audit trail. State law determines enforceability and any notarization requirements.
Who uses this agreement form
Domestic partners
Partners use the form to record agreed household, property, debt, expense, and separation terms before signing a shared document.
Legal advisers
Attorneys and mediators use it to circulate drafts, assign each partner’s fields, and preserve a signed version for client records.
Who benefits from this agreement form
The form is most useful when partners or their advisers need clear written terms, controlled signing, and a retrievable record of the completed agreement.
Solo family-law attorneys can use the form to collect each partner’s agreed terms, signatures, and dated acknowledgments before providing independent legal review. Real-estate professionals can document household responsibilities, occupancy arrangements, and related acknowledgments when partners need a signed record for a rental or property transaction. Small legal practices and enterprise legal departments can standardize agreement templates, control access, and preserve completed copies with audit trails for later reference.
These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Privacy and disclosure pitfalls
Including Social Security numbers, bank details, or medical information exposes sensitive personal data if the completed agreement is shared without access controls. Sending the agreement before both partners review every financial and property term can undermine informed consent and create later disputes. Assigning the wrong signer to a signature field may leave one partner’s consent undocumented or attach an acknowledgment to the wrong person. Allowing broad template access can expose prior partners’ personal information or permit unauthorized edits to the agreement’s operative terms.
State rules and document exclusions
State notary rules
Wills and codicils

Legal standing of the agreement
A Living Together Agreement Form can provide evidence of the partners’ documented intent when each signer consents, signs, and receives a reproducible record. ESIGN and applicable state UETA or New York ESRA rules generally recognize qualifying electronic signatures, but wills, codicils, family-law decrees, and court orders remain excluded from ESIGN coverage.
Best practices for this agreement

The Business plan includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, audit trails, and mobile apps at $8/user/month when billed annually. Month-to-month pricing is $20/user/month. Confirm the selected plan before inviting partners or collaborators.
For a consumer-facing signing process, provide the required ESIGN disclosure, explain the right to receive paper records, confirm electronic access, and explain consent withdrawal procedures under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c).
signNow supports ESIGN and UETA compliance, but those laws do not cover wills, codicils, family-law decrees, or court orders. Check state law before treating this agreement as a substitute for an excluded document.
Use email verification or SMS OTP when the partners require stronger attribution than an email link alone. The audit trail should preserve signer identity, timestamps, IP information, and completion history.
Business Premium includes bulk send at $15/user/month annually, while Enterprise adds advanced signer authentication at $30/user/month annually. Choose based on the actual workflow rather than assuming either feature applies to every plan.
