Description

The Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants outlines the establishment of joint tenancy between two unmarried individuals in Broward. Joint tenancy allows both parties to share ownership of a property with the right of survivorship, meaning if one owner passes away, the other inherits their share. The agreement clarifies that each tenant owns an undivided half-interest in the property and details the financial responsibilities, including mortgage payments, taxes, and utility costs, which both parties share equally. It includes stipulations for establishing a joint checking account for payment of these expenses and procedures for selling or transferring interests in the property. Importantly, neither party can encumber their share without consent from the other. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who assist clients in managing property ownership without marital ties, ensuring clarity on rights and responsibilities. With this agreement, users can formalize their arrangement, providing legal protection and a framework for financial collaboration.
