Buy-Sell Agreement
A binding contract between co-owners that controls the purchase of a withdrawing owner's ownership interest and includes transfer restrictions that control when owners can sell their interest, who can buy an owners interest, and what price will be paid. These agreements often cover what happens when an owner retires, goes bankrupt, becomes disabled, gets divorced, or dies.
