Description
The Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants establishes the legal framework for two unmarried individuals to jointly own real estate in Alameda as joint tenants with the right of survivorship. This means both parties hold an equal share in the property, and if one owner passes away, their share automatically transfers to the surviving owner without going through probate. Key features of the form include provisions for expense sharing, the establishment of a joint checking account for property expenses, and guidelines for selling or transferring interest in the property. It outlines that neither party can mortgage the property without consent from the other and establishes processes for evaluating property value over time. The form is tailored to a broad audience, including attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, providing them with essential instructions on creating and managing joint tenancy agreements. By clearly delineating responsibilities and rights within the agreement, the form supports effective collaboration and reduces potential disputes between the parties involved. Suitable use cases include real estate transactions between unmarried partners and legal documentation for attorneys managing joint property agreements.
