A Collin Texas Partnership Buy-Sell Agreement with Purchase on Death, Retirement or Withdrawal of Partner with Life Insurance on Each Partner to Fund Purchase in Case of Death is a legally binding contract that outlines the terms and conditions for the transfer of ownership interests within a partnership in the event of death, retirement, or withdrawal of a partner. This agreement ensures a smooth transition of ownership and provides financial security to both the departing partner or their estate and the remaining partners. In the case of a partner's death, the agreement requires each partner to have adequate life insurance coverage with the other partners listed as beneficiaries. Upon the death of a partner, the life insurance proceeds are used to fund the purchase of the deceased partner's ownership interest in the surviving partners. This ensures that the deceased partner's estate receives a fair value for their share and the surviving partners can continue the business without disruption. Similarly, the agreement also covers the retirement or voluntary withdrawal of a partner. In such cases, the agreement stipulates that the departing partner's ownership interest will be purchased by the remaining partners using funds from the departing partner's life insurance policy. This guarantees a fair and predetermined value for the departing partner's share while providing financial security to both parties.
