Description

In equity sharing both parties benefit from the relationship. Equity sharing, also known as housing equity partnership (HEP), gives a person the opportunity to purchase a home even if he cannot afford a mortgage on the whole of the current value. Often the remaining share is held by the house builder, property owner or a housing association. Both parties receive tax benefits. Another advantage is the return on investment for the investor, while for the occupier a home becomes readily available even when funds are insufficient.

FAQ

If you are in a situation where you want to sell your share of a property with more than one co-owner, you'll need to follow certain steps to remove your legal responsibility for the property. This involves ensuring the mortgage is refinanced to take your name from the title with a quitclaim deed.

A shared equity mortgage is an arrangement under which a mortgage lender and a borrower share ownership of a property. Shared equity mortgages can also occur when there are multiple buyers of a single property. The borrower must occupy the property.

If you find yourself in a situation where one owner wants to sell the property but the others don't, there are a few different options to consider. These may include negotiating a buyout agreement, seeking mediation or arbitration, or taking legal action to force a sale.

Texas is one of nine states that is a community property jurisdiction. In general, this means that any property acquired by a couple during their marriage (with a few exceptions) is equally owned by both spouses. This can have a profound effect on the dissolution of property during divorce proceedings.

“Texas recognizes two types of co-tenancies which may be deeded: a tenancy in common and a joint tenancy. . . . Under a tenancy in common, the deeded interest descends to the heirs and beneficiaries of the deceased cotenant and not to the surviving tenants. . . .

Joint Tenancies In Texas A joint tenant's interest is therefore not freely devisable in a will. Unlike most states Texas does not automatically recognize joint tenancies as having a right of survivorship. Instead the parties must agree, in writing, to include a right of survivorship.

In short, to force the sale of jointly owned property, you must first confirm title, then attempt a voluntary sale or buyout, file and serve a partition lawsuit, get an appraisal, sell the property, and finally divide the sale proceeds fairly.

One of the significant disadvantages of joint tenancy in Texas is the limited control and flexibility it offers to the owners. All the owners have equal rights to the property, which means that they cannot sell, mortgage, or transfer their ownership interest without the consent of the other owner(s).

Joint Ownership with Right of Survivorship. If property is jointly owned and the owners have signed a survivorship agreement, the surviving owner will automatically inherit the deceased owner's share. This is commonly done for marital homes.
