*Property Regimes in Marriage and Cohabitation* provides a comprehensive approach to asset and non-asset planning within couple relationships. It analyzes community property and separate property regimes, housing protection, marital agreements, and the liquidation and post-community undivided state of assets. It explores planning tools such as gifts, cohabitation agreements, and settlement agreements, along with their implications for inheritance. It incorporates current issues such as digital assets, economic compensation, and the protection of vulnerable individuals. It also addresses self-protection measures, advance medical directives, assisted reproductive technologies, and support systems. This work features a strong practical and notarial focus, accompanied by templates and clauses for professional practice.
