Many people choose to enter into a civil partnership rather than a marriage, and there are several reasons for this.
Whatever the reason, it is important to use the services of solicitors in North Wales to ensure that all steps taken towards this union are legal and appropriate.
Legal experts can advise on the benefits of civil partnerships; most of these are the same as those of legally married couples. These include sharing the rights to assets like property and finances and becoming the next of kin to the other that is important in the case of ill health or death. Marriage is not always an option for some, and others may choose the civil partnership route due to religious reasons.
As long as someone aged eighteen or over is not already married, they can form a civil partnership. This may then be legally registered at a local registry office in the area the couple have lived for at least seven days beforehand. During this process, several documents must be provided, and these include passports or birth certificates and proof of residency.
In the event of the couple wanting to end their relationship, solicitors specialising in civil partnership dissolution in North Wales should be used. These will protect the interests of the people involved, and advise that the partnership must be at least one year old before the dissolution is possible. They will also help process the necessary paperwork.
