Description

The 'Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants' defines joint tenancy in Montgomery as a legal arrangement where two unmarried individuals jointly own property with the right of survivorship. This means that upon the death of one tenant, the other automatically inherits the deceased tenant's share of the property. Key features of the form include the establishment of joint ownership, shared financial responsibilities for property expenses, and stipulations for selling or transferring interests in the property. Parties need to open a joint checking account for shared expenses and establish agreed valuations of the property annually. The form stresses the importance of written consent for any encumbrances or transfers of interest in the property. This agreement is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants dealing with property transactions amongst unmarried individuals, as it provides a clear framework for property management, financial obligations, and dispute resolution governing their shared investment.
