Description

In the absence of a valid restriction, a member in an LLC may transfer his/her interest in the LLC (usually expressed in membership units) to anyone. Restrictions on the transfer of membership units are valid if they are not unreasonable. This form provides that the LLC has the right to purchase a members membership units upon his death. The LLC can fund this transaction through a life insurance policy on the members life with the proceeds going to the LLC. The proceeds will then be used to buy the deceased members membership units.

A restriction on the right to transfer membership units is not effective against a purchaser of the unit unless the purchaser knows of the restriction. Such a restriction can be conspicuously noted on the membership certificates.

This form is set up as a Buy Sell Agreement between the LLC and a key member. It applies in the case of the death, disability, retirement or offer of member to sell his membership units during his lifetime.

This form is a generic example that may be referred to when preparing such a form for your particular state. It is for illustrative purposes only. Local laws should be consulted to determine any specific requirements for such a form in a particular jurisdiction.
