The Co-Ownership Agreement serves as a foundational document for establishing and managing shared property ownership under Belgian law. It is essential when two or more parties acquire ownership rights in the same property, whether for residential, commercial, or mixed-use purposes. The document becomes particularly relevant in situations involving family property sharing, joint property investments, or multiple-unit buildings. The agreement must comply with the Belgian Civil Code, specifically the reformed property law provisions of Book 3 (2021) and the specific co-ownership regulations in Articles 577-2 to 577-14. It typically includes detailed provisions for property management, maintenance responsibilities, cost-sharing arrangements, decision-making procedures, and dispute resolution mechanisms. The document is crucial for preventing potential conflicts and ensuring smooth administration of shared property interests.
