She said: "Make sure if you own your own property, and you decide to move your partner in that you have sufficient protection in place so that if the relationship breaks down, your partner cannot make a claim to your property.".
The Legal Queen, a family law solicitor in England and Wales, explained that if the house is solely in your name, then whether your ex partner is entitled to anything depends on several factors.
If they've helped you, for example, pay off the mortgage, or they've invested heavily into the property to increase the value of the property, then yes, they may well be able to make a claim.".
In another video, The Legal Queen shared advice on how to protect your property if you invite a partner to move in with you.
Then, she suggested having your partner pay you money, rather than them paying the mortgage directly - this way, there's evidence of their financial contribution to the property.
