Buy-Sell Agreements for Estate Planning Purposes

A buy-sell agreement can have an important purpose in an estate plan. It is an agreement used by business owners to sell the interest of a deceased owner to the remaining owners for a pre-determined price or by use of a pre-determined formula. The advantages are allowing the remaining owners to retain control of the business and assuring a definite price and buyer under mutually agreeable conditions.

What about the value of the business interest for estate tax purposes? Will the buy-sell price control for estate tax purposes? It will if the stated price in the buy-sell agreement was entered into for a bona fide business arrangement and was not a testamentary substitute intending to transfer the interest for less than fair and adequate consideration.

I recently discovered the horror of Estate Law in Ohio that allows an executor to never execute the estate and to never disperse the proceeds to the heirs.

Are there any support groups for heirs who are trying to change this law and get the estates they have inherited executed in a timely manner?

Can anyone tell me how an heir can get an estate executed when the executor has no intention of ever selling the real estate involved and distributing the proceeds to the heirs?

I tend not to leave a response, however I read a bunch of responses here "Buy-Sell Agreements for Estate Planning Purposes".
I actually do have a few questions for you if it's allright. Is it simply me or do a few of the remarks appear as if they are left by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting at other online sites, I'd like to
follow anything new you have to post. Would you post a
list of every one of all your shared pages like your linkedin profile,
Facebook page or twitter feed?
