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

Unlike HELs and HELOCs, home equity agreements aren't loans. That means there are no monthly payments or interest charges..

There are four different ways to hold title in real property in Florida: (1) tenants in common; (2) joint tenancy; (3) joint tenants with right of survivorship; and (4) tenancy by the entireties.

Florida law allows individuals to force the sale of a jointly owned property through a partition action. Regardless of their percentage ownership interest, any co-owner has the right to initiate this legal process to seek the sale and division of the property's proceeds.

A company provides you with a lump sum in exchange for partial ownership of your home, and/or a share of its future appreciation. You don't make monthly repayments of principal or interest; instead, you settle up when you sell the home or at the end of a multi-year agreement period (typically between 10 and 30 years).

Medicaid rules provide that for jointly owned real estate, such as a home or farm land, the entire value of the property can, in certain circumstances, be disregarded as a non-countable resource, meaning it will not count against the applicant.

A joint tenancy in Florida has all the features of the tenancy in common except that all the joint tenants must have the same equal percentage of interest in the real property. The joint tenancy also does not avoid Florida probate.

Yes. Generally, the right of survivorship will take precedence over a Last Will and Testament if the jointly-owned property is distributed wrongfully in someone's estate plans. Therefore, you shouldn't list any property in your Will that you and another person(s) jointly own with the right of survivorship.

Property that is held by a husband and wife is called tenancy by the entirety and cannot be divided. This means jointly held property is not subject to the claims of creditors of the husband or wife individually. This applies to real property as well.

If you own property jointly with someone else, and this ownership includes the "right of survivorship," then the surviving owner automatically owns the property when the other owner dies.

When one of the spouses passes away, the property automatically passes to the survivor without the need for probate. However, if the survivor fails to take the necessary estate planning steps to avoid probate, there will be probate upon the death of the survivor.
