What is a co-ownership agreement?

A co-ownership agreement is a legal document that regulates the management and ownership of joint property. Regardless of whether it concerns real estate, vehicles, boats or other property, the agreement ensures that all co-owners have clear and distinct guidelines to follow. It helps prevent conflicts by specifying each owner's share and their responsibilities for maintenance, expenses and any revenue.

Why is a joint ownership agreement important?

Without a co-ownership agreement, significant problems can arise, especially if the co-owners do not agree. If there is no agreement, the law on co-ownership (1904:48 p.1) may be applied, which may lead to a forced sale of the property via the district court if agreement cannot be reached. By drawing up an agreement, you can agree to remove these provisions and instead determine your own rules that suit your specific situation.

Common questions:

What is a co-ownership agreement? A co-ownership agreement is an agreement between co-owners who own a property together. It specifies how ownership and management should be managed to avoid conflicts.

Does the agreement need to be registered? No, a co-ownership agreement does not need to be registered with any authority, but it should be in writing and signed by all co-owners.

Can the agreement be changed? Yes, the agreement can be changed as long as all partners agree and the new terms are documented in writing and signed by all parties.

What happens if we don't have an agreement? Without an agreement, the Joint Ownership Act applies, which means that co-owners who cannot agree can be forced to sell the property through the courts.

Can we create the agreement ourselves? Yes, our template is designed to be user-friendly and easy to complete, but it may be wise to seek legal advice to ensure all necessary clauses are included.

Tips for using the template:

Read carefully: Make sure all partners understand the contents before you sign.

Adapt as needed: Use the Word format to be able to easily adapt and edit the agreement according to your specific needs.

Keep safe: After the agreement is signed, each partner should keep a copy in a safe place.

Legislation and practice:

The Co-ownership Act (1904:48 s.1) is dispositive, which means that the co-owners can waive the provisions of the Act in whole or in part through a co-ownership agreement. This makes it possible to create your own rules that suit the specific conditions and needs of the property and the co-owners.
