Description
The Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants outlines the legal framework enabling two unmarried individuals to collectively own a property as joint tenants with right of survivorship in Cook. This type of joint tenancy allows each owner to hold an equal share while ensuring that, upon the death of one, the surviving tenant automatically inherits the deceased's interest. Key features include mutual obligations for covering property-related expenses, creating a joint checking account for shared payments, and restrictions against selling or transferring interests without the other party's consent for a specified period. The agreement also addresses the valuation of the property, providing terms for regular reviews to establish an updated market price, along with penalties for noncompliance, such as liquidated damages. For attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, this form serves as a critical tool for formalizing property ownership arrangements while protecting the rights of both parties involved. It ensures clarity on financial responsibilities and outlines methods for resolving potential disputes, thus providing a comprehensive guide for joint property ownership.
