Farmor's suggestion of "ownership" or "custody" is certainly an option, though the context does not rule out "affiliation" or "relationship" either. But He makes a good point. Ownership and custody are different ideas, and as it is an "agreement" we are talking about, I am not sure about "ownership", as of an asset.

I think if the writer had meant "ownership", he would have written "ejerforhold", which would have given a more unambiguous interpretation. "tilhørsforhold" has too much gray in it, and though it could be stretched to cover many of the terms given here, "ownership" is at the far end of the spectrum.
"at tilhøre" means "to belong to", but that is not exactly the same as ownership, which does not sound right in this context.
Another point; ownership implies custody, but does not guarantee it, as a court can award custody of one's assets to a trustee, which happens very often. Custody, on the other hand, implies control or jurisdiction, but never ownership.
With regard to "ownership" of an asset, whether or not an agreement is an asset is an open question. If two people agree to meet for lunch, then they do have an agreement, but is it an asset, and who "owns" it. In the case of a contractual agreement, then it would have value, and could be considered an asset, but who owns what? There are both rights and obligations in a formal, contractual agreement, but how ownership is applied or distributed is not clear.
