Description
The Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants defines joint tenancy with right of survivorship in Illinois. This legal arrangement allows two or more unmarried individuals to hold a property equally, ensuring that upon the death of one owner, their share automatically passes to the surviving owner(s). Key features of the agreement include instructions on executing a property deed, sharing of financial responsibilities such as mortgage and utilities, and provisions for property valuation and potential sale of an interest in the property. Users must create a joint checking account for shared expenses and establish conditions under which a party can sell or transfer their interest. This agreement is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, as it outlines the legal responsibilities and rights associated with joint ownership, facilitating smoother property management and dispute resolution. Overall, this document serves as a foundational legal tool for unmarried individuals looking to acquire real estate together in Illinois.
