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

Rights to Lease Property: Co-owners can lease out jointly owned property, but they typically need mutual consent. If the co-ownership agreement specifies, one owner might lease the property independently. However, without such an agreement, unilateral leasing can lead to legal disputes and potential partition actions.

Real estate property is often owned by two or more people at the same time. However, by default, jointly owned property does NOT automatically include a Right of Survivorship in Texas. This differs from many other states.

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.

Co-ownership might entail more complex legal agreements, specifically outlining each party's rights and responsibilities. Joint property ownership usually involves a simpler, more standardised agreement.

Community property under California state law, such as real estate purchased during a marriage or domestic partnership, is a joint tenancy arrangement. Each of the owners shares equal interest in the property and are both named on the same deed.

The Living Together section of Nolo also discusses various forms of contracts for unmarried people who want to share ownership of property. Also, because your shared home represents a major economic investment, you should hire a lawyer to help you prepare an agreement that meets your needs.

Draft a document for the parties to sign specifying the relationship between them, such as joint tenants in common, tenants in entirety, etc. Both parties must agree to the terms of the relationship, and sign the document to ensure that it is legally binding.

Choosing the Right Type of Co-Ownership While joint tenancy and tenancy in common are widely recognised as the most common types of co-ownership, the increasing popularity of fractional ownership, made possible at August, shows that there is a growing diversity in how people approach property ownership.

In Texas, JTWROS is recognized as a form of co-ownership. This means that when you buy property with someone else and specify that you want it to be held in joint tenancy, the ownership rights and responsibilities are governed by Texas law.

Texas law presumes that if two non-spouses are named as co-owners, and nothing more is said, they are tenants-in-common (Est. Code Sec. 101.002). This means they each person owns an undivided one-half interest in the property but there is no automatic right of survivorship.
