As far as the property, you will probably want to take title as joint tenants to ensure a right of survivorship. There are no laws that give rights to unmarried persons. Here is some information for unmarried couples: http://tiny.cc/f03ni. Consult with an attorney for legal advice and assistance. Regards,

No papers are required, but it is advisable. The agreement would cover what happens if someone dies, or wants to move on. Who would get what? Getting this done in advance could prevent serious problems later.
