Agreement Cohabitation Form
Use a Agreement Cohabitation template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What an Agreement Cohabitation Form does
An Agreement Cohabitation Form records how two people intend to manage rights and responsibilities while living together. It can identify the parties, describe shared or separate property, allocate household expenses, address debts, and document signatures. The form is a private agreement, not a government filing or universal substitute for a will, deed, court order, or family-law judgment. In the United States, electronic execution may be recognized under the federal ESIGN Act and applicable state law, including UETA or New York ESRA, when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are established.
Legal standing of a cohabitation agreement
An electronically signed Agreement Cohabitation Form can be admissible when the parties demonstrate intent, consent, attribution, and reliable record retention under ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. §7001, and applicable state law, including UETA or New York ESRA. It does not replace wills, codicils, court orders, or family-law decrees excluded by ESIGN.

For consumer-facing electronic records, ESIGN requires disclosure of the right to paper records, electronic access capability, and withdrawal procedures under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c). Configure the workflow before requesting signatures.
An electronic agreement does not replace a will, codicil, court order, or family-law decree because ESIGN excludes those records. Obtain state-specific legal guidance before using this form for estate or court matters.
Business Premium includes kiosk mode and quick invite links. Use kiosk mode for two parties signing on one managed device, or a quick invite link when sending a prepared agreement directly.
