Description
The document titled 'Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants' outlines the legal framework for two unmarried individuals to own a property in joint tenancy with right of survivorship in Cuyahoga. Joint tenancy allows both parties to hold equal shares in the property and ensures that if one party passes away, their share automatically transfers to the surviving party, thus avoiding probate. The agreement contains details on shared responsibilities for property expenses, including mortgage payments, taxes, and utility costs. Additionally, it sets up requirements for a joint checking account to manage these expenses. Key features of the form include clauses on selling or transferring interests in the property, establishing a valuation process, and outlining penalties for defaulting on financial obligations. This document is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who are involved in real estate transactions or advising clients on property ownership arrangements. They will benefit from the clear guidelines for managing joint property ownership and ensuring compliance with legal obligations.
