Description
Joint tenancy in Michigan refers to a property ownership arrangement where two or more individuals hold equal shares in a property, with the right of survivorship stipulating that upon the death of one tenant, their interest passes directly to the surviving tenant(s). An example in Michigan would involve two unmarried individuals purchasing a home together, each owning a half-interest. This agreement outlines key features such as shared financial responsibilities for mortgage payments, taxes, and utilities, and prohibits selling or transferring one's interest without consent from the other tenant. The form provides instructions for creating the joint ownership structure through a deed and establishes procedures for handling financial contributions and property valuation. It is essential for attorneys, partners, and paralegals as it clarifies legal obligations and rights within the ownership arrangement, ensures fair handling of shared expenses, and provides a framework for resolving disputes. This Agreement is a vital resource for anyone engaged in joint property ownership, as it delineates responsibilities and protects individual interests.
