Question 1.
This program is designed to create an Agreement for two people
living together who wish to have their property and rights defined
in writing. It is a useful tool when either or both persons have
significant assets.
Question 2.
Both parties to the agreement need to be named. It doesn't matter
which is named first or what sex each Party is, since the agreement
does not distinguish between sexes.
Question 3.
Please name the other party to the Agreement.
Question 4.
All of the property of both persons should be identified in the
agreement. Without a full disclosure to the other person the
agreement can be considered unfair and therefore not legal. Note
that it is not necessary to list your clothing, personal effects,
household items or jewelry. Almost everyone has these things and
the Agreement will assume that you do. If there are special items
of jewelry, such as a family heirloom, however, it is not a bad
idea to list them.
Question 5.
Here the First Party is given the opportunity to list personal
property. The program allows for several entries of personal
property so it needn't all be listed in response to the next
question.
Question 6.
This question allows you to list other items of personal property.
Question 7.
This question allows you to list other items of personal property.
Question 8.
This question allows you to list other items of personal property.
Question 9.
This question allows you to list other items of personal property.
Question 10.
This question allows you to list other items of personal property.
Question 11.
It is important that all of the real property owned by both persons
is carefully listed. As you can see in the next question, a general
address is sufficient so long as it properly identifies the
property.
Question 12.
This question allows you to list other items of real property.
Question 13.
This question allows you to list other items of real property.
Question 14
This question allows you to list other items of real property.
Question 15
All of the property of both persons should be identified in the
agreement. Without a full disclosure to the other person the
agreement can be considered unfair and therefore not legal. Note
that it is not necessary to list your clothing, personal effects,
household items or jewelry. Almost everyone has these things and
the Agreement will assume that you do. If there are special items
of jewelry, such as a family heirloom, however, it is not a bad
idea to list them.
Question 16.
Here the Second Party is given the opportunity to list personal
property. The program allows for several entries of personal
property so it needn't all be listed in response to the next
question.
Question 17.
This question allows you to list other items of personal property.
Question 18.

property.

This question allows you to list other items of real property.
Question 24.
This question allows you to list other items of real property.
Question 25.
This question allows you to list other items of real property.
Question 26.
As noted above, it is important to list all of the property of both
persons in this Agreement. It is also important to list any debts
where the other Party will be taking some responsibility to help
pay the debt.
Question 27.
Here, you can identify the debt or debts that the parties will both
take some responsibility for. For example, "John Tredwell's Bank
of Magenta master card."
Question 28.
It is a good idea to designate the specific duties that each person
to the agreement will have. Thus this question and the next
several allow you to designate who will be responsible for what
duties in relationship to the home, and which Party (or both) will
be responsible for providing the living expenses for the household.
Question 29.
Answering "yes" to this question specifies that the First Party
will be primarily responsible for the income of the two persons and
that the Second Party will primarily take care of the home. Note
that this question should only be answered "yes" if both parts of
the question are true. The program will allow you to designate
that only one party will provide the living expenses for the house
and that both will take care of the home (or vice versa).
Question 30.
Answering "yes" to this question specifies that the Second Party
will be primarily responsible for the income of the two persons and
that the First Party will primarily take care of the home. Note
that this question should only be answered "yes" if both parts of
the question are true. The program will allow you to designate
that only one party will provide the living expenses for the house
and that both will take care of the home (or vice versa).
Question 31.
It is important to designate who will be responsible for the living
expenses of the parties. Answering "yes" to this question
designates that the parties will share expenses.
Question 32.
This question specifies that the First Party will be responsible
for providing the living expenses for the home.
Question 33.
This question specifies that the Second Party will be responsible
for providing the living expenses for the home.
Question 34.
This question and the next several questions allow you to designate
specific duties in the home for each party. For example, you might
wish to specify that the First Party is to keep up the yard.
Answering "yes" to this question will allow you to designate duties
for both persons. If only one person is to have specific duties,
then answer "no" here, and "yes" to the next question.
Question 35.
This question allows you to specify that one person is to be
responsible for certain things around the home. Note, that if both
persons are to have specified duties you should return to Question
34 and answer "yes".
Question 36.
If you have answered "yes" to Question 35, then you need to
identify which person is to have these duties.
Question 37.
Here, you need to designate the things that the First Party will do
around the home.
Question 38.
If you have answered "yes" to Question 35, then you need to
identify which person is to have these duties.
Question 39.
Here, you need to identify the duties that the Second Person will
have around the home.
Question 40.
Often in this type of Agreement, one Party is responsible to
provide support for the other Party. This needs to be specified.
Question 41.
If one person is going to support the other then you need to
identify that person. Here, you can specify that the First Party
will be responsible for the support of the Second Party.
Question 42.
If one person is going to support the other then you need to
identify that person. Here, you can specify that the Second Party
will be responsible for the support of the First Party.
Question 43.
The chief reason that these Agreements are used by two persons is
to enable them to specify what property, if any, is to become the
joint property of both parties, and which property is to remain the
separately owned property of one Party. A series of questions is
provided to allow the user to specify the ownership of the
property.
Question 44.
If the First Party is to acquire property that is to remain his or
hers alone, then this question needs to be answered "yes". Note
that property obtained by gift, inheritance or bequest
automatically becomes the property of the individual unless its
specifically given to both persons.
Question 45.
Here, you can identify the property.
Question 46.
If the Second Party is to acquire property that is to remain his or
hers alone, then this question needs to be answered "yes". Note
that property obtained by gift, inheritance or bequest
automatically becomes the property of the individual unless its
specifically given to both persons.
Question 47.
Here, you can identify the property.
Question 48.
It is common that property owned by one Party will become mixed or
commingled with the property that belongs to both persons. Here
and in the next question, you can specify what is to happen to that
property: whether it is to become joint, or whether the person
contributing it is to get it back.
Question 49.
This question allows you to specify that the First Person is to be
reimbursed for property that gets commingled with the property
belonging to both persons.
Question 50.
This question allows you to specify that the Second Person is to be
reimbursed for property that gets commingled with the property
belonging to both persons.
Question 51.
It is important to specify who will be responsible for the dwelling
wherein the parties will live. The program allows a great deal of
flexibility in this regard: allowing you to specify that either
Party will rent (or already has rented) property wherein the
parties will live; in which case he or she will be primarily
responsible for the payments; allowing you to specify that the
parties will live in a dwelling owned by one or the other of the
parties and that the non-owner will (or will not) receive some
contribution for payments he or she makes towards the property; and
will allow you to specify that both parties will rent or buy
property together and thereby both be responsible for the payments.
Question 52.
This question is to be answered "yes" when the parties will buy
property together.
Question 53.
The address of the dwelling needs to be specified.
Question 54.
You should answer this question "yes" when the First Party will
lease, or has already leased a dwelling for the parties to live.
Question 55.
The address of the dwelling needs to be specified.
Question 56.
Where First Party is responsible for the payments on the property,
it is often a good idea to have Second Party owe some form of
contribution to First Party for those payments. This can be a lump
sum payment, annual payment or monthly amount.
Question 57.
You need to specify if it is to be annual or monthly: for example a
typical answer to this question might be "250.00 monthly."
Question 58.
You should answer this question "yes" when the First Party owns or
is buying property wherein the parties will live.
Question 59.
The address of the dwelling needs to be specified.
Question 60.
Where First Party is responsible for the payments on the property,
it is often a good idea to have Second Party owe some form of
contribution to First Party for those payments. This can be a lump
sum payment, annual payment or monthly amount.
Question 61.
You need to specify if it is to be annual or monthly: for example a
typical answer to this question might be "250.00 monthly."
Question 62.
You should answer this question "yes" when the Second Party will
lease, or has already leased a dwelling for the parties to live.
Question 63.
The address of the dwelling needs to be specified.
Question 64.

it is often a good idea to have First Party owe some form of
contribution to Second Party for those payments. This can be a
lump sum payment, annual payment or monthly amount.
Question 65.
You need to specify if it is to be annual or monthly: for example a
typical answer to this question might be "250.00 monthly."
Question 66.
You should answer this question "yes" when the Second Party owns or
is buying property wherein the parties will live.
Question 67.
The address of the dwelling needs to be specified.
Question 68.
Where Second Party is responsible for the payments on the property,
it is often a good idea to have First Party owe some form of
contribution to Second Party for those payments. This can be a
lump sum payment, annual payment or monthly amount.
Question 69.
You need to specify if it is to be annual or monthly: for example a
typical answer to this question might be "250.00 monthly."
Question 70.
Life insurance is a good way to provide that in the event of a
catastrophe there will be money to the survivor to take care of the
things that need to be done. This can include seeing to the burial
or avoiding having to give up the dwelling or other property where
both parties have been making the payments when suddenly there
isn't any money coming in from one of the major contributors.
Question 71.
Here, you are given an opportunity to specify that the First Party
will have such insurance.
Question 72.
You must specify the face amount of the policy.
Question 73.
Here, you are given an opportunity to specify that the Second Party
will have such insurance.
Question 74.
You must specify the face amount of the policy.
Question 75.
An important part of this Agreement is specifying what will happen
if the parties split up. Thus there are a lot of clauses
designating what happens to the property. There are always
unforseen circumstances, however, and it is often a good idea to
designate an appraiser or arbitrator to help with any disagreement
should the necessity arise.
Question 76.
Designating the appraiser or arbitrator now will often avoid a
fight in the future concerning who that person should be,
particularly if the parties aren't getting along.
Question 77.
Please identify the appraiser.
Question 78.
When you've named an appraiser or arbitrator to help with the
division of property should it become necessary, it is often a good
idea to name someone else in case the person you name first isn't
available. Normally, considerable time will have passed between
this Agreement and needing an appraiser: thus the person you first
pick may not be available, so naming an alternate is always a good
idea.
Question 79.
Enter the name of the City or Town in which the document will be
signed.
Question 80.
Enter the name of the State or other jurisdiction where the parties
will sign this Agreement.
Question 81.
Notarizing a document such as this one is often a good idea since
it allows the document to be recorded. When real property is dealt
with in the agreement then it may need to be recorded in order to
be legal, particularly where the property is to become separate
property of one of the parties even where both parties are
purchasing it. For a full description concerning notaries, and
executing the document, please see the section of the manual
particularly on execution of the documents.
Question 82.
It is important to specify where you will be executing your
document.
Question 83.
Please enter the name of the County or Parish.
Question 84
Press enter and the program will prepare the text that will make up
your document.
