Veterans and/or surviving spouses can receive a monthly pension amount in honor of their sacrifices for serving our military. The Veterans Affairs Aid and Attendance Program is a financial resource offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs. In this article, we explain Veterans’ Aid and Attendance pensions for veterans and surviving spouses. We’ll answer the questions, “what is Aid and Attendance?”, “who is eligible for aid and attendance?”, and “how do I apply for aid and attendance?”. 

A buy-sell agreement is a contract between the owners of a business that sets forth certain triggering events that will allow the owners to exit from the business, who will be permitted or required to buy their shares, how the shares will be valued for purchase, and how any such purchase will be funded. Business owners will generally work with an attorney to navigate each of these issues in light of their specific circumstances. One-size-fits-all buy-sell agreements are inadvisable, because the facts surrounding each business and the needs of its owners are different in every situation.

A buy-sell agreement allows business owners to plan in advance for how an owner and the business will part ways upon the occurrence of certain triggering events such as the death or disability of an owner, the voluntary decision to terminate ownership either through a routine sale of stock or through retirement, or the company’s decision to part ways with the owner with or without cause.
