Description

This form is set up as a Buy Sell Agreement between two partners. It applies in the case of the death or offer of a partner to sell his partnership interest during his lifetime. A Florida Buy Sell Agreement Between Partners of General Partnership with Two Partners is a legally binding document that outlines the terms and conditions regarding the buying and selling of partnership interests between the two partners in a general partnership. This agreement helps establish a fair and consistent process for the transfer of ownership and ensures that both partners are protected in case of unforeseen circumstances. The primary purpose of a Buy Sell Agreement is to address the potential issues that may arise when a partner wants to sell their interest in the partnership or when one partner wants to leave the business for various reasons, such as retirement, disability, or death. It provides a framework for determining the value of the partnership interest, as well as the terms and conditions for the sale. There are two common types of Buy Sell Agreements that can be used in a Florida General Partnership with Two Partners: 1. Cross-Purchase Agreement: In this type of agreement, each partner agrees to buy the other partner's interest in the partnership in the event of a triggering event. For example, if one partner wants to leave the partnership, the other partner has the option to buy their share at the agreed-upon price. This type of agreement is often preferred when the partners have a significant age or health difference. 2. Entity or Stock Redemption Agreement: In this type of agreement, the partnership itself agrees to purchase the departing partner's interest. The remaining partner(s) hold their ownership percentage intact, as the partnership essentially redeems the interest from the exiting partner. This type of agreement is more commonly used when the partners' ages and health are similar, or when there are significant tax advantages to the partnership. In a Florida General Partnership, the Buy Sell Agreement should include important clauses and provisions such as: — The circumstances or triggering events that activate the agreement, such as a partner's desire to sell their interest, death, disability, retirement, bankruptcy, divorce, or breach of partnership agreement. — The valuation method to determine the fair market value of the partnership interest, such as using an independent appraiser or a pre-determined formula agreed upon by both parties. — The terms and conditions for the sale, including payment terms, any restrictions on transferring the interest to third parties, and the timeline for completing the transaction. — Provisions regarding the rights and responsibilities of the remaining partner(s) in the event of a partner's exit, such as the right of first refusal or the option to purchase the interest. — The agreed-upon dispute resolution process in case of any disagreements or conflicts regarding the agreement. — Additional clauses that protect the partnership's assets, intellectual property, confidentiality, and non-competition if necessary. It is important to consult with a legal professional experienced in partnership agreements to ensure that the Buy Sell Agreement addresses all relevant aspects before finalizing the document.
