Re: property
Dear Happily Living Together: It's time to make proper, lawful arrangements just in case.... Living together may afford some very minimal protection, as Common Law marriage in Ohio, but to be more protective of your individual rights and best interests, see an experienced Attorney to advise and guide you both, ASAP.
There are many devices to consider, but they'll require expert understanding and advice, based upon your mutual wishes.
Don't wait... do it ASAP.
Good luck.
