Abstract: The sum $ A+B$ of two nonnegative selfadjoint relations (multi-valued operators) $ A$ and $ B$ is a nonnegative relation. The class of all extremal extensions of the sum $ A+B$ is characterized as products of relations via an auxiliary Hilbert space associated with $ A$ and $ B$. The so-called form sum extension of $ A+B$ is a nonnegative selfadjoint extension, which is constructed via a closed quadratic form associated with $ A$ and $ B$. Its connection to the class of extremal extensions is investigated and a criterion for its extremality is established, involving a nontrivial dependence on $ A$ and $ B$.
