Description
The document titled 'Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants' outlines the terms by which two unmarried individuals can acquire property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship. In joint tenancy, each party owns an equal share of the property, ensuring that if one owner passes away, their share automatically transfers to the surviving owner. For example, if two partners buy a home together in Wake, they would both hold an undivided one-half interest in the property under this agreement. Key features include the creation of a joint tenancy, shared responsibility for expenses related to the property, and provisions for selling a share of the property should one partner wish to exit the agreement. Filling instructions require both parties to execute the deed and establish a joint checking account for shared expenses. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a structured framework for co-owning property, clarifies financial responsibilities, and addresses potential disputes over the property. It emphasizes clear communication among parties and legally binding terms to protect both individuals' interests.
