During this process, the financial records must be updated and prepared in strict accordance with Texas and Federal law. The reliability of these methods is crucial in determining the proper value for the rights you are selling. Usually a formal contract will be written as the agreement nears its conclusion. The provisions contained in the contract should present all matters discussed in a fair light, and this requires careful review by both parties.
