Multisig addresses lock funds to multiple private keys — possibly requiring all of those private keys for redemption, and possibly requiring just some from the set. They're easy enough to create with `bitcoin-cli` and they're entirely normal to send to.

A 1-of-2 multisig might be a married couple's joint bank account, while a 2-of-2 multisig might be used for large expenditures by a Limited Liability Partnership. Multisignatures also form one of the bases of Smart Contracts. For example, a real estate deal could be closed with a 2-of-3 multisig, where the signatures are submitted by the buyer, the seller, and an escrow agent. Once the escrow agent agrees that all of the conditions have been met, he frees up the funds for the seller; or alternatively, the buyer and seller can jointly free the funds.
