The Joint Tenants Form 17 in Bexar facilitates an agreement between unmarried individuals to purchase and hold a residence as joint tenants with right of survivorship. It explicitly outlines the intention to jointly own property, detailing the equal ownership and financial responsibilities of each tenant. The form includes provisions for expense sharing, mortgage payments, and utility costs, ensuring both parties contribute equally. It establishes guidelines for opening a joint checking account to manage these expenses, along with penalties for non-compliance. Additionally, the agreement restricts the selling or transferring of property shares without prior consent, while also addressing valuations and potential disputes. This form is particularly beneficial for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who need to create a clear, legally binding framework for property ownership among unmarried individuals. By using this form, users can mitigate possible conflicts, ensure shared responsibilities, and protect their interests in the event of a sale or transfer.
