The Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants is a legal document designed for unmarried individuals intending to buy property together in Queens, establishing joint tenancy with rights of survivorship. This form outlines responsibilities, including shared costs for mortgage, taxes, insurance, and maintenance, ensuring both parties contribute equally. It mandates the creation of a joint checking account to facilitate these payments and includes protocols if one party fails to meet financial obligations, allowing for potential forced sale of the property. The agreement protects each party's interest by restricting sales and transfers without mutual consent for a set period, followed by established procedures for valuation and offers to purchase shares. This form also includes provisions for conflict resolution and attorney fees in case of legal action. It is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, property owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who need a clear framework for joint ownership and the mechanisms for managing and potentially dissolving such arrangements.
