Description

The Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants is a legal document designed for unmarried couples seeking joint ownership of property in Broward. This agreement allows both partners to own an undivided one-half interest in the property, establishing joint tenancy that includes the right of survivorship. Key features include shared financial responsibilities for mortgage payments, taxes, and property maintenance, as well as the establishment of a joint checking account for shared expenses. Couples must agree on the property's valuation annually and follow specified procedures when selling or transferring their interests. Additionally, neither party can mortgage the property without consent, and violations of the terms can lead to penalties. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides clarity on property rights and responsibilities, protects both parties' interests, and offers a clear framework for financial management and property transfer.
