The book explains the important differences to consider when drafting an agreement for a business operating as a corporation (either a C or S corporation), a partnership, or a limited liability company (LLC).
A well-drafted buy-sell agreement can achieve key objectives for your client. The book succinctly defines the most important of these benefits from the perspective of each party that may have an interest in a buy-sell agreement: the deceased owner’s estate, the retired or disabled owner, the withdrawing owner, and the remaining owners.

Separate chapters cover issues important to S corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies, and professional service corporations Other topics covered include:
•Use of a buy-sell agreement to set the value of an interest in a business entity for estate tax purposes
