Description

This form is set up as a Buy Sell Agreement between co-owners of rental property. It applies in the case of the death or offer of a co-owner to sell his interest in the property during his lifetime. A Massachusetts Buy Sell Agreement Between Co-Owners of Real Property is a legally binding contract that outlines the terms and conditions for the sale of a shared property between two or more co-owners in the state of Massachusetts. This agreement offers a structured approach to handle situations such as one co-owner wanting to sell their share, a desire to dissolve the co-ownership, or the need to establish a fair process for determining the value and terms of a potential sale. There are two main types of Buy Sell Agreements commonly used in Massachusetts: 1. Cross-Purchase Agreement: This type of agreement is typically used when there are only two co-owners. In a cross-purchase agreement, each co-owner has the option to purchase the other co-owner's share if they decide to sell. The agreement usually establishes a process for determining the fair market value of the property, sets a timeframe for response and completion of the sale, and may include provisions for financing the purchase. 2. Entity Redemption Agreement: This type of agreement is suitable for co-owners who have established a legal entity, such as a partnership or LLC, to hold the property. In an entity redemption agreement, the entity itself has the option to buy out a co-owner's share if they wish to sell. The agreement typically outlines the valuation process, the entity's funding mechanism, and the conditions under which the redemption can take place. Regardless of the specific type, a Massachusetts Buy Sell Agreement Between Co-Owners of Real Property can include various important provisions. These may address the process of determining the property's value, the method of payment, any financing arrangements, potential restrictions on transfers, dispute resolution procedures, and any rights of first refusal. Additionally, the agreement may specify the rights and responsibilities of each co-owner, the consequences of default, and the respective rights to use the property during the co-ownership period. It's crucial for all parties involved to consult with an experienced real estate attorney to draft and review the agreement to ensure compliance with Massachusetts laws and to tailor it to their specific needs and circumstances.
