FAQ
Perhaps the most common way for unmarried couples to take title to real property is as "tenants in common." Unlike a joint tenancy, a tenant in common has no automatic right to inherit the property when the other partner dies.
(b) A disposition of real property to a husband and wife creates in them a tenancy by the entirety, unless expressly declared to be a joint tenancy or a tenancy in common.
No. Unless you are married or in a domestic partnership, you do not get any special relationship rights or privileges in the state of New York. Common law marriages are not recognized in New York state, and therefore, unmarried couples do not automatically get rights after cohabiting for a certain amount of time.
New York is a state that enforces an equitable distribution of assets in divorce proceedings. This means that marital property is divided 50/50 but in a way that is equitable and fair. When determining what is equitable, the court takes several factors into account.
As long as you and your ex can agree on how to divide up your assets, there is no need to involve lawyers or the court system. Even if children are involved, in most states you have the opportunity to separate in private, ing to whatever arrangements the two of you agree on.
Joint Tenancy. If you take title as joint tenants, you share equal ownership of the property and each of you has the right to use the entire property. If one joint tenant dies, the other automatically becomes the owner of the deceased person's share, even if there's a will to the contrary.
