    will manage if things go twisted.

    joint assets will be allocated.

  • Who Actually Owns the Property?
  • Heres a quick explanation of the different types
    of ownership for unmarried couples
  • Joint Tenancy
  • In a joint tenancy, multiple owners
    share an equal stake in the home.
  • Tenants in Common
  • Each person on the deed owns a specified
    percentage of the home.
  • Sole Ownership
  • Just one partners name is on the title of the
    home. This type of ownership is used if one
    partner has poor credit or for tax purposes if
    one persons income is significantly higher than
    the others.
