But some bonuses have a downside.

1. Admission to intensive care and information about the patient's health

Until recently, it was almost impossible to get access to intensive care in a legal way. But in 2019, a law was passed that obliges medical institutions to admit visitors to seriously ill patients - with restrictions, of course. And most of all, close relatives receive the right to be close. The spouse is among them, but the roommate is not.

The last patient is legally nobody, so access may be denied. However, at other stages one may encounter problems. For example, a conclusion on the cause of death is issued only to close relatives.

What are the disadvantages

None.

Roommates can issue powers of attorney in advance, which will allow them to find out information about each other's health. But most likely, it will not work just to show it to the attending physician as a certificate of marriage. It will be necessary to write an application addressed to the head physician and wait until it is considered. This will happen within 30 days.

2. The right not to testify against a spouse

No one is obliged to testify against himself and his close relatives. But if you refuse to testify against those who are not on this list, you can get punished.

What are the disadvantages

None. The Constitution gives the right not to testify against a spouse, but does not prohibit doing so.

No way. Unless you will be subject to another law that permits refusal to testify. For example, a priest cannot be forced to reveal the secret of confession.

3. Greater tax deduction

Some tax deductions can be made out not only for yourself, but also for your spouse - always an official one. For example, it is allowed to return part of the cost of medical treatment and the purchase of medicines for the husband or wife, pension contributions or life insurance.

And in marriage, both spouses can receive a tax deduction when buying an apartment, even if it is registered in one of them. That is, the payment may be 520 thousand instead of 260 thousand. The same is with interest on a mortgage.

What are the disadvantages

None.

Two people out of wedlock can buy an apartment in half. In this case, everyone has the right, as the owner, to receive a deduction for his share. With the rest of the deductions - nothing.

4. The right not to pay tax on a gift

Gifts are income in an intangible form. And tax is paid from it in the amount of 13% of the cost. This applies to presents more expensive than 4 thousand rubles from legal entities, as well as real estate, transport and securities received as a gift from another person. An exception is made for gifts from close relatives.

If the husband gives his wife, for example, shares from the portfolio that he formed before marriage, there is no need to pay tax. If a boyfriend is a friend, she will have to.

What are the disadvantages

Gifts are considered personal property and are not shared upon divorce.

Give money.

5. Clear division of property

If an official marriage breaks up, everything is more or less clear. The money gained during the marriage is divided in half, according to the marriage contract or by agreement. In each case, there are nuances, but at least the starting points are spelled out in the laws. In this case, inheritance, gifts and premarital property are not subject to division.

For roommates, all this is not regulated in any way. Of course, we can talk about the highest form of justice: whoever bought what will leave with it. In practice, everything is more complicated. One bought a refrigerator, the other paid for its expensive repairs. And now it is not clear who owns the equipment. The man diligently paid the mortgage for the apartment assigned to him, but he ate entirely at the expense of the partner. As a result, the housing officially belongs only to the one for whom it was registered.

What are the disadvantages

If one of the partners earned much more than the other, dividing the property in half may seem unfair to him. In this case, it is worthwhile to draw up a marriage contract in advance. This can be done at any time after the wedding and even before it. True, there are important nuances:

• Only issues related to property can be specified in the contract. You cannot, say, oblige your partner to meet you in a latex suit on even days and for non-observance of this rule deprive you of part of your savings.
• The agreement should not infringe on any of the parties. It is a way to divide property in a way that seems fair, not an instrument of punishment. So leaving the other side on the street without everything will not work.

In any case, it is better to draw up a prenuptial agreement with a lawyer. The specialist will help to do this so that the court has no claims to the text if the other party tries to challenge the agreement during divorce.

Roommates can buy a house, a car, land in shared ownership. Moreover, it is not necessary to divide everything in half, it is quite possible and in proportion to the material contribution. Otherwise, the easiest way is to keep a separate budget and discount on common food and entertainment. And, of course, keep receipts for purchases like household appliances and furniture, which are not registered as property.

Everything is like in marriage: now you have love, and when the property is divided, it can easily surface who ruined whom and generally sat on the neck.

Pay special attention to the documents confirming who paid for the animal when buying it. Leaving your beloved dog for yourself if a partner transferred the money can be tricky.

6. The right to inheritance

The spouse is the heir to the first priority by default. A roommate without a will cannot receive anything.

Let's say a couple bought an apartment in half. If something happens to one of the partners, then his share will be divided between his parents and children. And in their absence, brothers, sisters, grandmothers and grandfathers will join the case. In general, everyone except the roommate.

What are the disadvantages

In case of death, everything that belonged to a person during life will be divided between the heirs. And as a result, the process may not go the way the deceased originally wanted.

Let's say a wife received an apartment as a gift from her grandmother. This property she would like to later donate to the child from her first marriage. If she dies without leaving a will, and the heirs cannot agree, then the housing can easily be divided equally between the husband and all the children.

A will should be written to a person of any age if he has any property. The document can also be disputed. But this is not as easy as it is commonly believed. In addition, this is an official expression of will, which, at least, will not leave an opportunity to speculate on essays, what a person would like "in fact".

And you can also bequeath property to anyone, regardless of family ties, including a cohabitant.

7. Automatic paternity

If the child was born in marriage, the husband of the woman in labor is recorded as the father by default. Roommates will have to additionally collect documents at the registry office in order to legalize the rights of the pope.

What are the disadvantages

Automatic parenting makes life easier if the child's dad is a spouse. But it happens that people have not been together for a long time, but they do not register the separation at the registry office. In this case, the man may not be happy with the simplicity of the procedure.

Another nuance is that paternity is assigned by default to the ex-husband if the child is born within 300 days after the divorce. Moreover, on average, pregnancy lasts 294 days. It is especially inconvenient that such paternity can only be challenged through a court.

If both dad and mom recognize paternity, it is quite simple to legalize it. You need to go to the registry office or the MFC and submit an application.

8. Suspension from the army

The conditions for deferral from conscription for the spouse and roommate are generally similar. But the first one, to get it, is enough for one child and a wife with a gestational age of at least 22 weeks. And the second already needs to have two children. The difference is about 20 weeks.

What are the disadvantages

None.

There are other ways to settle relations with the military registration and enlistment office. For example, going to graduate school is a less pleasant process than anything that precedes pregnancy. On the other hand, candidates of science are already entitled not to a deferral, but to be exempt from conscription.

9. Accommodation without temporary registration

If a person lives in another region for more than 90 days and has not completed a temporary registration, he may be fined. But this does not apply to those who stay in an apartment that belongs to his close relative, and the owner himself is registered in it. With cohabitation, a fine cannot be avoided.

What are the disadvantages

None.

Obtain temporary registration at the place of residence.
