Description

The Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants outlines the terms under which two unmarried parties can jointly own a property as joint tenants with right of survivorship. This agreement specifies that each party will own an undivided one-half interest in the property and details the responsibilities for expenses, including mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and utilities. A joint checking account will be established for managing shared expenses, and provisions are included for resolving disputes regarding defaults in payments. The document ensures that neither party can sell or transfer their interest without giving the other party the first opportunity to purchase it. It also secures legal rights by requiring written consent before either party can encumber their share of the property. The form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who are facilitating property ownership arrangements between unmarried individuals, providing clear guidelines and responsibilities to reduce potential conflicts.
