What Does a Cohabitation Agreement Cost?
R1,700 all-inclusive — no hidden fees, no surprises.
What’s Included
- Consultation — We discuss your circumstances and what the agreement should cover
- Professional drafting — A tailored cohabitation agreement drafted by an experienced attorney (not a template)
- Legal explanation — The agreement is explained in full to both partners before signing
- Notarial attestation — Both partners sign before our Notary Public
- Certified copies — Certified copies of both partners’ ID documents or passports
- Protocol Number — The agreement is bound into the notarial protocol and issued with a unique reference number
- Duplicate original — A copy is filed in our records for safekeeping
There are no additional fees. The R1,700 covers everything from your first consultation to the final notarised agreement in your hands.

| Estate dispute (intestate succession) | R30,000 – R150,000+ |

What About Amendments?
If your circumstances change in the future and you need to amend your agreement, we charge a reduced fee for amendments and addenda. Contact us for a quote.
No Hidden Fees — Guaranteed
Some firms charge separately for consultation, drafting, notarisation, certified copies, and filing. We don’t. Our R1,700 fee covers everything. The price you see is the price you pay.
If your matter involves unusual complexity (for example, multiple properties in different countries or complex business interests), we will discuss this with you upfront and provide a written quote before any work begins.
