Description
The document titled 'Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants' outlines a framework for individuals who are not married to jointly purchase and manage real estate as joint tenants. Although primarily targeting unmarried couples, the principles of joint tenancy with right of survivorship can be equally relevant for married couples in Wake. This agreement enables both parties to own equal shares of the property, ensuring that if one tenant passes away, the other automatically inherits their share without the need for probate. The form includes clear instructions for filling out the deed, establishing joint financial responsibilities, and maintaining shared expenses such as mortgage payments and property maintenance costs. Specifically, it sets forth guidelines for creating a joint checking account for these expenses, with stipulations for defaulting on payments. This agreement also necessitates a fair valuation process for the property, allowing for an orderly transfer of interests if one party decides to sell. It is vital for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants when advising clients on property ownership structures, ensuring all parties understand their rights and obligations. This document serves as an essential tool for preventing disputes and clarifying expectations in co-ownership scenarios.
