The Joint Ownership Agreement is a crucial legal instrument used in Switzerland when two or more parties wish to formalize their shared ownership of assets. This document is essential when parties need to establish clear rights, responsibilities, and operational procedures for jointly owned property, whether it's real estate, intellectual property, or other assets. Under Swiss law, particularly the Civil Code (ZGB) and Code of Obligations (OR), joint ownership arrangements require careful structuring to ensure legal compliance and protection of all parties' interests. The agreement addresses key aspects such as ownership percentages, management rights, decision-making processes, financial obligations, and exit mechanisms. It's particularly relevant in business partnerships, family arrangements, investment consortiums, and various commercial ventures where shared ownership needs to be clearly documented and regulated.
