Description

The form titled Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants serves to establish a joint tenancy with right of survivorship for individuals in Illinois. It specifically details the responsibilities of each tenant, including the sharing of expenses such as mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs. This agreement ensures that each tenant has a clear understanding of their financial obligations and how they will manage the property together. Unlike tenants in common, joint tenants have survivorship rights, meaning that upon the death of one tenant, the other's interest in the property automatically transfers to them. This form also outlines processes for selling or transferring interests in the property, requiring written agreements and valuations to be in place. Attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants can effectively utilize this agreement to ensure proper legal protocols are followed when unmarried individuals enter into property ownership, thus protecting their rights and interests.

Joint Tenancy Definition Common Use: This form of ownership is popular among married couples or family members, as it ensures that the property passes to the surviving owner(s) without the need for probate. Legal Implications: In Joint Tenancy, each owner has an undivided interest in the entire property.

In order to sell or convey the entire property, all owners must join in the transfer. As tenants in common, the co-owners have the right to sell, gift, or transfer their interest in the property without the other owners' permission.

Tenants in common gives you more protections and you can specify in a deed of trust what you would want to happen in the event of relationship breakdown (eg if one of you has first dibs to buy the other out, or a time limit on doing so etc) which is definitely better to decide now whilst you still like each other!
