Episode Synopsis

If you are cohabiting with your partner or planning to, did you know that not having a written agreement or will could put you at serious risk? Many couples assume love is enough, but the law doesn’t automatically protect unmarried partners. DJ Complexion talks to Lesibana Mokgapa, an attorney at the High Court in South Africa and practicing attorney at the University of Limpopo campus, about the often-overlooked legal aspects of living together. He explains how a cohabitation agreement works, what a will should include, and why consulting a legal professional can save you heartbreak and financial loss in the future.
