Don’t own property together without one.
Too often, people buy real property together with family members or friends with just a general concept of sharing income and expenses but without giving any real thought to the many issues involved with co-ownership.  Without proper planning and agreement on key issues, co-owners are likely to become co-enemies which leads to damaged relationships and lawsuits.
The Strombotne Law Firm provides a comprehensive legal service to help the parties evaluate and agree upon the key issues in the co-ownership of real estate, and prepare the appropriate legal documents and agreements.   Co-ownership issues include the following:

  • Purchase terms
  • Purchase contract and disclosures

  • Percentage ownership interests
