Description

The Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants outlines the legal arrangement where two unmarried individuals intend to acquire property as joint tenants in Allegheny. This form specifies that both parties will have equal ownership rights and a right of survivorship, which allows the surviving tenant to inherit the deceased tenant’s share without going through probate. Key features include the obligation for each party to share expenses related to the property, such as mortgage payments, taxes, and maintenance costs. The parties are also required to establish a joint checking account for managing these expenses. The form covers provisions on transfer restrictions and conditions for selling interests in the property, ensuring that either party cannot unilaterally sell or encumber their share without the other's consent. It also includes clauses for dispute resolution, attorney fees, and modifications to the agreement. This form is particularly beneficial for attorneys, partners, and legal assistants who work with unmarried clients looking to co-own property, providing them with a clear structure for ownership and financial responsibilities.
