Unmarried, As Joint Tenants With The Right Of Survivorship And Not As Tenants In Common, Hereinafter Form
Use a Unmarried, As Joint Tenants With The Right Of Survivorship And Not As Tenants In Common, Hereinafter template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What this ownership form does
This form records two unmarried people as joint tenants with a right of survivorship rather than as tenants in common. Each person holds an interest in the same property, and the survivorship clause is intended to direct the deceased owner’s interest to the surviving joint tenant, subject to applicable state law, title requirements, and creditor or estate rules. The document should identify the owners and property precisely and use the required execution formalities. A deed or transfer instrument may also require notarization, witnesses, and county recording, so local counsel or the recorder should confirm acceptance before signing.
Legal standing and execution limits
ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. ch. 96, and applicable state electronic-transactions law can support an electronic signature when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are established. They do not override state deed formalities. Wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, court filings, and family-law decrees remain excluded under ESIGN’s exceptions.

signNow supports its mobile apps on iOS and Android, allowing unmarried co-owners to review and sign the ownership document away from a desktop. Camera-based capture can convert a paper copy into a digital workflow, while offline signing supports work without an active connection.

Before signing, confirm that the document contains the exact legal names, property description, vesting language, and any required notarial certificate. Mobile access does not replace state-specific deed execution or recording rules. A title company, attorney, or recording office should confirm whether notarization, witnesses, or an original instrument remain necessary.
Who benefits from this workflow
The form is most useful to professionals coordinating property ownership documents for two unmarried individuals who want survivorship language reflected accurately.
Real estate agents use the form workflow to coordinate signatures from unmarried buyers while keeping the property record and signing history together. Title and escrow teams prepare deed-related documents, verify that each co-owner receives assigned fields, and preserve the completed package for closing review. Solo attorneys and small property firms use reusable templates to collect signatures while retaining control over wording, authentication, and document access.
These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.
Troubleshoot signing and recording issues
These answers address execution, authentication, plan, and evidence questions that arise when unmarried co-owners complete this ownership document.
If the ownership document needs notarization, signNow can capture signatures and preserve the audit trail, but the parties must follow the applicable state notary process. Deed acknowledgment requirements vary by state, and electronic signing does not itself establish recordability with a county recorder.
Business includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, mobile apps, and audit trails at $8 per user per month when billed annually. The plan has 100 signature invites per user per year, with overage fees; confirm volume before routing repeated ownership documents.
Business Premium costs $15 per user per month billed annually and adds bulk send, kiosk mode, request payments, and quick invite links. Bulk sending is useful only when substantially identical documents are prepared for multiple separate ownership transactions.
Use assigned signature fields for each unmarried co-owner and verify both email addresses before sending. signNow’s audit trail records actions, timestamps, and completion evidence, but the parties remain responsible for confirming legal names and property language.
signNow supports ESIGN and UETA requirements, including electronic records and audit trails. For consumer-facing transactions, 15 U.S.C. §7001(c) requires an electronic-record disclosure, access demonstration, and withdrawal procedures; obtain legal review when the transaction is consumer-facing.
Export the completed document and audit trail together after all assigned fields are finished. Store the package under the retention policy required for the underlying property, transaction, or business record; no single federal period applies to every ownership document.
