Description

The Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants outlines the legal framework for two unmarried individuals to jointly purchase property in Queens, establishing a joint tenancy with right of survivorship. In this arrangement, each party owns an undivided one-half interest in the property, ensuring that, upon the death of one tenant, the surviving tenant automatically inherits the deceased's share. Key features include the division of property-related expenses, the establishment of a joint checking account for shared expenses, and procedures for selling or transferring ownership interests. The agreement includes provisions for mutual consent before engaging in actions such as mortgaging the property or assigning rights. Furthermore, it emphasizes the necessity of written consent for modifications and establishes legal responsibilities regarding attorney fees in case of disputes. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, property owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a clear structure for joint property ownership and responsibilities, addressing potential conflicts and financial obligations between parties.
