Description

The Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants outlines the terms under which two unmarried individuals can jointly own property in Bexar with a right of survivorship. Joint tenancy allows each party to own an undivided half-interest in the property, meaning that upon the death of one tenant, the surviving tenant automatically acquires full ownership. This agreement requires both parties to share costs related to mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, and other expenses, establishing a joint checking account for the management of these expenditures. It includes provisions for selling or transferring interests in the property, ensuring that any sale must first be offered to the other party. Legal and financial obligations are clearly stated to safeguard the interests of both parties, with a review of property valuation occurring annually. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a clear framework for establishing joint ownership and the legal rights and responsibilities involved, facilitating smoother transactions and reducing potential disputes.
