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 a property as joint tenants with right of survivorship. In this agreement, each party holds an undivided one-half interest, which allows for the property to automatically transfer to the surviving tenant upon the death of one owner. For example, in Cook County, when two individuals purchase a home together and opt for joint tenancy, they ensure a smooth transfer of ownership without complications of probate. Key features of this form include the establishment of a joint checking account for shared expenses, guidelines for mortgage payments, property maintenance, and restrictions on selling or transferring interests without the other party's consent. Filling out the form requires both parties to agree on the valuation of the property periodically to determine the selling price in case one wishes to sell. This form is especially useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a clear framework for property ownership and addresses conflicts that may arise, ensuring legal protections and responsibilities are understood and accepted.

There are four main types of joint ownership: joint tenancy with rights of survivorship ; tenancy by the entirety ; tenancy in common and community property .

Joint tenancy means equal ownership and equal responsibilities among co-owners. The right of survivorship allows a surviving tenant to inherit the property automatically after another tenant's death. Joint tenancy differs from a tenancy in common, where a deceased tenant's share goes to their heirs.

In practical terms, this means that if two or more individuals are buying a property together, they should be listed as co-owners on the same deed or other appropriate legal documentation.

A joint owner or co-owner means that both owners have the same access to the account. As an owner of the account, both co-owners can deposit, withdraw, or close the account.
