When an unmarried couple buys a major item together, it’s wise to have a joint ownership agreement in writing. This protects both parties if there’s an unexpected event such as a breakup or even death.
Important to Know
Don't use this form if purchasing a home or vehicle together. Check your state's rules regarding co-owning a vehicle. Houses and other real property will have their own specialized rules for joint ownership and taking title.
