Document background
The Domestic Partnership Declaration addresses the need for legal clarity in non-marital relationships within Singapore's legal framework. While Singapore does not officially recognize domestic partnerships, this document provides partners with a structured agreement to manage their shared life, assets, and responsibilities. The declaration typically covers areas such as property ownership, financial arrangements, healthcare decisions, and termination procedures. It's particularly useful for couples who cannot or choose not to marry but wish to establish clear terms for their relationship. While not replicating marriage rights, it creates privately binding obligations within the constraints of Singapore law.
