Description

The document titled Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants is designed for individuals, specifically unmarried partners, who plan to co-own a property in a joint tenancy arrangement with rights of survivorship. The agreement clarifies that each tenant will hold an undivided interest in the property, allowing for seamless transfer of ownership upon the death of one tenant. It includes detailed provisions for sharing expenses related to the property, such as mortgage payments and maintenance costs, fostering transparency in financial obligations. The form also outlines mechanisms for resolving disputes regarding the sale or transfer of interests in the property and specifies the need for mutual consent before any party can encumber their interest. This document is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants in legally formalizing co-ownership arrangements. They may need to advise clients on the implications of joint tenancy vs. tenancy in common and provide guidance on filling out the form accurately, ensuring proper signatures and notary acknowledgment. Additionally, the agreement can serve as a basis for discussions on property valuation and financial responsibilities, making it a versatile tool for legal professionals working with unmarried couples in property transactions.
