Do I have to share my assets with my adult interdependent partner and/or same sex partner?

As of January 1, 2020, Alberta's Family Property Act grants individuals in adult interdependent partnerships the same property rights as married spouses. If you have lived with someone continuously for three years or have a child together while in an economically interdependent relationship (not necessarily conjugal), that person—your Adult Interdependent Partner—has a legal claim to a share of your property. The Act specifies that the value of assets you brought into the relationship remains yours, provided you still have the asset, have reinvested the proceeds into another asset, or can trace where the funds are now. However, if these exempt assets have increased in value during the relationship, your Adult Interdependent Partner is entitled to 50% of that increase.
