Description
The document titled 'Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants' defines joint tenancy, particularly in the context of Salt Lake, as a form of property ownership where two unmarried individuals co-own a property with the right of survivorship. This means that should one tenant pass away, their share automatically transfers to the other tenant. The agreement outlines the responsibilities of each party concerning expenses, such as mortgage payments, taxes, and maintenance, emphasizing equal sharing of costs. It also mandates the establishment of a joint checking account for expense management. Notably, it includes provisions regarding the sale or transfer of ownership interest, requiring written offers between parties. This form is useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, as it provides explicit guidelines for co-ownership arrangements and helps prevent disputes regarding property rights and responsibilities. Users are instructed to fill in relevant property details and execute the agreement with signatures before a notary. The document facilitates clear communication and mutual understanding between co-owners, making it an essential tool for those entering joint tenancy agreements.
