Buying Caretta with a spouse, a partner or the family: how title vests, who signs, and what happens later

Most residences at a building like Caretta are bought by more than one person. The form of co-ownership is chosen at contract and rarely discussed. Here it is, in plain words, for counsel to confirm.

This page is a framework. Whether the building suits you is a separate conversation. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.

Four Ways To Share A Deed

And what each decides.

Tenants in common: each owner holds a share, which can be unequal, and each share passes by that owner’s will. Joint tenants with right of survivorship: equal shares, and the survivor takes the whole. Tenancy by the entirety: Florida’s form for married couples, with survivorship and protection from one spouse’s individual creditors. An entity: the family owns the company, the company owns the home, and the operating agreement decides everything else.

Caretta: 95 luxury residences; architectural-grade fixtures, freestanding tubs, custom stone vanities, recessed LED lighting; bedroom mix and size ranges not published in the intake materials.

Who Signs

Contract, closing, power of attorney.

Every person who will be on the deed signs the purchase agreement and the closing documents, or signs a power of attorney that the title company accepts in advance. A co-owner abroad signs remotely under the rules for documents executed outside the United States; plan the notarization weeks ahead, not days.

Caretta: The deposit schedule is held by the desk and read with you before contract.

Later

Sale, death, disagreement.

A sale needs every owner’s signature. A death moves the share by the form chosen above, or through probate if the form does not avoid it. A disagreement between co-owners who are not married ends, in the worst case, in a partition action, which is why an agreement between the co-owners, written before closing, is counsel’s usual advice.

The Desk Question

One sentence.

How should we take title together, and who has to be in the room or on a power of attorney at closing? Counsel chooses the form; the desk sets the signing logistics with the title company.

Decide how you own it before you own it.
