Bondly — legal protection for couples who live together without marriage.
Live-in, cohabiting, de facto or cross-border — you probably have far fewer rights than you think. Bondly maps what actually protects you, generates a cohabitation agreement for your jurisdiction, and routes it to an independent advocate for review and signature.
Bondly is a legal-technology product of Dare to Law — a platform, not a law firm and not any single advocate's practice. Drafts are generated by automation; where a document must be binding it is independently reviewed and signed by an empanelled advocate whose professional fee is disclosed separately. Nothing here is legal advice.
What people believe vs. what the law says
“We've lived together 7 years — we're basically married.”
No jurisdiction converts time into marriage. In England & Wales common-law marriage does not exist at all.
“My partner will inherit everything automatically.”
In India, the UK, Ontario and California an unmarried partner inherits nothing without a will.
“The house is in one name but it's ours.”
Where cohabitation isn't recognised, property follows legal title — contributions must be documented.
“We're in two different countries, one agreement covers it.”
Two legal systems can contradict each other on inheritance, custody and property. That needs flagging, not guessing.
What Bondly delivers
Jurisdiction risk assessment
A plain-language summary of what protects you in India, the UK, California, Ontario or Australia — with the statutes named.
Cohabitation agreement
Generated from your answers using a jurisdiction-specific template, then independently reviewed and signed by an empanelled advocate on the Assured and Concierge tiers.
Cross-border conflict report
If you and your partner sit in two legal systems, Bondly flags where inheritance, property, custody and support rules contradict — and routes you to dual-jurisdiction counsel.
