Liability question with two owners.
Say two guys buy a boat together and title it in both names. If one of them did something with the boat would the other guy also be liable? Both names would be listed on the insurance policy if that makes a difference. Thanks Mike

On high-dollar items like yachts, jets, vacation homes etc., it's common to have the item set up as a corporation and the "owners" would become "shareholders". It can be a little bit complicated and it does bring some costs but all aspects are outlined in the corporate bylaws- everyone has clearly spelled-out rights, responsibilities and obligations. This is one way to make it happen while avoiding liabilities and disagreements.
