Buy-sell Agreements drafting and other considerations

With the case of Connelly v. United States, the US Supreme Court addressed the valuation of stock in a closely held business when insurance is used to fund a buy-sell agreement. This decision must be analyzed and understood to design and implement any buy-sell agreement where life insurance is involved.
This session will address the following:

  • Types of buy-sell agreements
  • Income tax aspects of buy-sell agreements
  • What Connelly stands for
  • Which types of buy-sell agreements will or may be adversely affected by the Connelly case
  • Whether existing buy-sell agreements should be amended or restructured
  • How insurance should be used in funding buy-sell agreementsĀ
