The Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants outlines the legal framework for two unmarried individuals to jointly own a property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship in Wake. This arrangement allows co-owners to share an undivided interest in the property, ensuring that if one owner passes away, their interest automatically transfers to the surviving owner. Key features of the form include provisions for shared financial responsibilities, the establishment of a joint checking account for property expenses, and rules governing the sale or transfer of ownership interest. Users must execute a deed to formalize the joint tenancy and review property valuations annually. Filling out the form requires clear communication and mutual agreement on various aspects, emphasizing the need for written amendments for any changes to the agreement. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants aiming to facilitate property ownership arrangements for unmarried couples, ensuring legal clarity and protection in asset management.
