Cohabitation Reform: A Solution or New Legal Minefield? | Profectus Round Table

Is the Law Commission's cohabitation consultation set to fix modern inheritance laws, or will it create brand new legal disputes? In this round table, guest speakers unpack the insights from the recent Profectus Round Table, chaired by Darren P. Leggett, PLG, exploring the complex realities of cohabitation reform. Prompted by Helen Claydon, our panel of experts, including Neil Fraser, moved beyond simple inheritance rights to tackle the messy, practical realities of modern families, blended households, capacity issues, and inheritance tax. Discover why the panel concluded that while protecting vulnerable individuals is vital, legislative reform alone might just relocate family disputes into new legal areas—and why public education may be the real key forward.
