Description
The Agreement by Unmarried Individuals to Purchase and Hold Residence as Joint Tenants provides a legal framework for two unmarried individuals to jointly own real estate in Washington as joint tenants with right of survivorship. This means that in the event one owner passes away, their share automatically transfers to the surviving owner, preventing the property from being subjected to probate. Key features include the establishment of a joint checking account for shared expenses, specific responsibilities for maintenance and utilities, and clauses on the sale or transfer of interest in the property. Users are required to agree on the property’s valuation annually, with a structured method for addressing defaults in payments. Filling out this form involves ensuring all parties sign and acknowledge the agreement in front of a notary public. This document is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who need a clear, enforceable agreement to delineate property rights and responsibilities among co-owners. It provides essential legal protection while fostering collaboration in property management.
