Description
In Minnesota law, joint tenants are individuals who co-own real property with right of survivorship, meaning that if one owner dies, their interest automatically passes to the surviving owner. This Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants outlines the collective ownership structure for unmarried individuals purchasing property together. Key features include the establishment of a joint tenancy, shared financial responsibilities for expenses related to the property, and guidelines for potential sale or transfer of shares between the parties. Instructions for filling out the form emphasize the need for clear details about the property, equal contribution to expenses, and a joint checking account for managing shared costs. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a clear legal framework for property ownership that protects the interests of both parties. Specific use cases may include cohabiting partners who wish to secure their rights in property ownership or for unmarried individuals forming a financial partnership in real estate.
