Description

The Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants is designed for couples in Fulton who are not married but wish to jointly own property. This form outlines the terms of shared ownership, expenses, and responsibilities associated with the property, including mortgage payments, taxes, and maintenance costs. It establishes a joint tenancy with rights of survivorship, ensuring that, upon death, the surviving partner automatically inherits the deceased partner's share. The agreement mandates the creation of a joint checking account for expense management and sets conditions for selling or transferring ownership. Both partners must agree on the property's valuation annually, and the form requires written consent for any modifications or transfers of interest. This document is essential for attorneys, partners, and legal assistants, as it clarifies ownership rights and responsibilities, reducing potential conflicts and misunderstandings between unmarried couples.
