Description

The Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants outlines the structure of joint tenancy in real estate, specifically for property owners in Salt Lake. Joint tenancy allows two or more individuals to share ownership of a property while offering the right of survivorship, meaning that if one owner passes away, their share automatically goes to the surviving owner. This form serves essential functions for the involved parties, including specifying how expenses related to the property are to be shared, establishing a joint checking account for managing these costs, and outlining procedures for selling or transferring interest in the property. The agreement prevents either party from encumbering their share without consent and reinforces the importance of mutual agreements through clear expectations and legal binding statements. It serves as a critical resource for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants by providing a structured template that ensures equitable management of jointly-owned property, while also safeguarding the rights of all parties involved.
