Description
The Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants outlines the terms under which two unmarried individuals can co-own property as joint tenants, emphasizing the right of survivorship. The document specifies that each party will hold an undivided one-half interest in the property and outlines their responsibilities for shared expenses, including mortgage payments, property taxes, and utility bills. It provides procedures for maintaining a joint checking account for these expenses, stipulating consequences for missed contributions. The agreement restricts selling or transferring ownership interests for a specified period, requiring written offers to the other party if a sale is desired. Valuation of the property is also discussed, with periodic reviews to set the property's sale price. The agreement reinforces the need for written consent before any encumbrance or assignment of rights and states that modifications must be in writing. This document serves as a critical tool for attorneys, property partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, helping them navigate property ownership complexities and ensuring legal compliance in co-ownership situations.
