Description
The document titled 'Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants' serves to establish joint tenancy between two unmarried individuals regarding a property. Joint tenancy is defined as a form of ownership where both tenants hold equal shares in the property and, importantly, have the right of survivorship, meaning if one owner passes away, their share automatically transfers to the surviving owner. An example in the context of Orange might involve two partners who buy a home together, ensuring each has a 50% stake. Key features include the establishment of shared expenses, utilization of a joint checking account for payments, and the requirement for mutual consent before selling or transferring ownership interests. The form also sets terms for property valuation and addresses what happens if one party defaults on their responsibilities. Legal professionals, such as attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, will find this document useful for creating clear agreements that protect the interests of all parties involved. It simplifies the process of jointly owning property and clarifies responsibilities, reducing the chances of future disputes.
