Description

The Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants is a legal document designed for two unmarried individuals in Queens who wish to jointly own a property with full rights of survivorship. This agreement establishes that each party holds an undivided one-half interest in the property, ensuring that in the event of one tenant's death, the other automatically inherits their share. Key features include provisions for shared expenses related to the property, such as mortgage payments, taxes, and maintenance costs, as well as instructions for establishing a joint checking account for these expenses. The agreement also restricts the sale or transfer of interest in the property for a specified period, requiring written offers and acceptance between the parties if one wishes to sell. It aims to prevent unilateral decisions that could affect both owners, thereby fostering co-ownership stability. This document is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a clear framework for co-owning real estate, ensuring that both parties share financial responsibilities while protecting their interests through written agreements and stipulated valuations.
