A Buy Sell or Stock Purchase Agreement is a legal contract that outlines the terms and conditions for the purchase or sale of common stock in a closely held corporation. In the state of Indiana, this agreement can also include an option to fund the purchase through life insurance. The purpose of this agreement is to provide a mechanism for the orderly transfer of ownership interests in the corporation in the event of certain triggering events, such as the death or disability of a shareholder, retirement, or voluntary departure. It helps ensure that the remaining shareholders have the opportunity and the ability to purchase the departing shareholder's stock in a fair and efficient manner. The Indiana Buy Sell or Stock Purchase Agreement typically includes provisions regarding the purchase price, valuation methodology, payment terms, and the timing of the transaction.

The agreement will also outline the process for determining how the purchase will be funded. One specific type of Indiana Buy Sell or Stock Purchase Agreement with the option to fund the purchase through life insurance is the Cross-Purchase Agreement. In this arrangement, each shareholder agrees to purchase a life insurance policy on the lives of the other shareholders. Upon the death of a shareholder, the surviving shareholders receive the insurance proceeds and use them to purchase the deceased shareholder's stock from their estate. This type of agreement typically involves multiple policies, with each shareholder being both the policy owner and the beneficiary of the policies on the other shareholders. Another type of agreement is the Redemption Agreement, where the corporation purchases the life insurance policies on the shareholders. In the event of the death of a shareholder, the corporation receives the insurance proceeds, which are then used to redeem the deceased shareholder's stock. In this arrangement, the corporation becomes both the policy owner and the beneficiary of the insurance policies. Both the Cross-Purchase Agreement and the Redemption Agreement provide a tax-efficient way to fund the purchase of the stock, as the insurance proceeds are generally received tax-free. Additionally, the option to fund the purchase through life insurance ensures that the necessary funds will be available when a triggering event occurs, and it eliminates the need for the surviving shareholders or the corporation to come up with a large sum of money to buy out the departing shareholder.
