Escrow Account Agreement
Georgia
What are the key provisions that should be included in an Escrow Agreement?
I am in the process of finalizing a business deal where I will be placing a substantial amount of money into an escrow account. I want to ensure that my interests are protected and that all parties involved are clear on the terms and conditions. I would like to know what are the essential provisions that should be included in an Escrow Agreement to safeguard my investment and mitigate potential risks.
Jerome L.
Great question—and smart move getting ahead of this. When you're placing a substantial amount of money into escrow, the agreement becomes critical to protect your investment and ensure all parties are aligned on how the funds will be handled. Here are the key provisions that should be included in a well-drafted Escrow Agreement: Parties to the Agreement Clearly identify the buyer, seller (or contracting parties), and the escrow agent, including their contact details and roles. Purpose of the Escrow Define why the funds are being held—whether it’s for a business acquisition, service milestone, asset transfer, etc. Escrowed Funds or Assets Specify the amount or nature of what is being held in escrow, including how it should be handled (e.g., deposited into an interest-bearing account). Conditions for Release Detail exactly when and how the escrow agent is authorized to release the funds—e.g., upon delivery of services, closing of a deal, receipt of signed documents, etc. Instructions & Disbursement Process Outline how release instructions are communicated, who must approve them, and what form they should take (e.g., written, signed by both parties). Duties & Liabilities of the Escrow Agent Define the escrow agent’s responsibilities, their standard of care, and a liability limitation clause to avoid disputes over unintentional delays or errors. Fees & Expenses Clarify who pays the escrow fees and how those fees will be structured—fixed, hourly, or percentage-based. Dispute Resolution Clause Include a provision on how disputes will be handled if there’s a disagreement about release conditions (e.g., mediation, arbitration, or court jurisdiction). Termination & Expiration Explain when the agreement ends—whether upon release of funds, mutual agreement, or lapse of a set time period—and what happens to the funds if unresolved. Governing Law Identify which state's laws will apply to the agreement, particularly if parties are in different jurisdictions. If you'd like, I can help draft or review your escrow agreement to ensure these provisions are solid and customized to your deal. Happy to help you safeguard your investment and give you peace of mind at every stage.

LLC

Can I sell my LLC post-formation?
I am an entrepreneur looking to start a business and am considering forming a limited liability company (LLC). I have done my research and understand the basics of forming an LLC, but I am now curious to know if I can sell my LLC post-formation. I want to ensure that the structure of my LLC will provide me with the flexibility to sell if the opportunity arises.
Darryl S.
Yes, you typically can sell an LLC post-formation. Some key points to consider if you may want to sell your LLC in the future: - You retain flexibility to sell membership interests (ownership units) in the LLC rather than the entity itself. This keeps things simpler as transferring formal LLC ownership requires dissolution paperwork. - The operating agreement should clearly outline members' rights and rules around transferring units, such as rights of first refusal and valuation mechanisms. This gives buyers confidence in the process. - Discuss with a lawyer and accountant to set up the appropriate LLC structure for your situation. For example, a single-member vs multi-member LLC may have different implications for a future sale. - Maintain detailed financial records and consistent bookkeeping. This will streamline the due diligence process for prospective buyers. So in short, yes an LLC remains a saleable entity after formation. Consider rules for transfers in the operating agreement, structure properly at the start, and keep excellent records. This gives you maximum flexibility for an ownership exit strategy via selling your LLC interest. Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional questions!

Should asset purchase agreement be notarized?
Do we need to notarize an APA? I have tried to do research online and cannot find anything. I am trying to budget for a new acquisition and want to make sure I have all of my ducks in a row. Are there any other documents I will need?
Michael S.
First, I highly recommend you get legal representation in connection with your purchase agreement. Second, I'm not a Texas lawyer, but generally an asset purchase agreement will not need to be notarized.

Asset Purchase Agreement

How does an asset purchase agreement work with debt?
I am buying a business and want to use an asset purchase agreement based on what I've read, but I believe the company has debt. How does this work? Will I also be buying the debt? Any help is appreciated
John S.
It depends. If you want to use an asset purchase agreement to purchase just the assets of the company instead of the entire company, then an asset purchase agreement is the way to go as you could avoid taking on the company's existing debts. However, if you plan to buy the business as a whole I would expect you will inherit the debts as well unless you draft a release from the former owners.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
