Document background
A Joint Home Ownership Agreement is essential when two or more parties wish to purchase and own property together in Ireland. This document is commonly used by unmarried couples, friends, family members, or business partners who are jointly investing in property. It provides legal protection and clarity by defining ownership shares, financial obligations, usage rights, and decision-making processes. The agreement helps prevent future disputes by establishing clear procedures for property management, sale, or ownership transfer. It must comply with Irish property law, including the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009, the Registration of Title Act 1964, and other relevant legislation. This agreement is particularly important as it addresses scenarios not automatically covered by standard property law, such as relationship breakdown between unmarried co-owners or unequal financial contributions to the property purchase.
