Description
This agreement outlines the terms for unmarried individuals purchasing and holding a residence as joint tenants in Fairfax. Joint tenancy, defined as ownership by two or more partners where each holds an equal share and the right of survivorship, allows for seamless transfer of property upon one owner's death. For example, if one partner passes away, the surviving partner automatically gains full ownership of the property. Key features include shared expenses for mortgage payments, taxes, and maintenance, establishment of a joint checking account for financial contributions, and procedures for selling or transferring shares. The agreement emphasizes collaboration and consent regarding improvements and financial decisions. It's particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as they navigate property ownership without marriage, ensuring clarity on rights, responsibilities, and potential disputes. Filling and editing instructions encourage correct documentation to reflect the partners' mutual interests and intentions effectively.
