Description

The document titled Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants outlines the ownership rights and responsibilities for individuals purchasing property together as joint tenants. It emphasizes the distinction between joint tenancy, which includes the right of survivorship, and tenants in common, where ownership interests do not automatically transfer upon death. The agreement specifies that parties must each pay half of related expenses, establish a joint checking account for property expenses, and stipulates conditions under which a party can sell or transfer their interest in the property. It also addresses the valuation of the property and the need for written consent before encumbering interests. This document serves as a critical tool for attorneys, partners, and paralegals, as it provides a clear structure for property ownership that can prevent disputes and ensure compliance with agreed terms. Legal assistants will find it useful for guiding clients through property acquisition processes, ensuring that all parties understand their rights and obligations.
