This Form is the Acquisition Agreement to be used as part of a “SCIN” Transaction – i.e. an installment sale to a related party where the promissory note is cancelled by its own terms if the seller dies before the note has been paid in full. Hence the term “SCIN” – (Self-Canceling Installment Note).
The Acquisition Agreement is necessary to describe the transaction of purchase and sale. It is strongly advised that a fair market value appraisal for the property being transferred be obtained and attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A.
The Self-Canceling Promissory Note is, of course, an integral part of this transaction, and is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B.
In order for a SCIN transaction to be successful, there must be a premium paid by the Buyer for the cancellation feature of the note. This premium may take the form of either an increased purchase price (over fair market value) or an increased interest rate (over market interest). These premiums are determined actuarially, taking into account the age of the seller, market interest rate at the time of the sale, duration of the note, etc. This Form uses an enhanced interest rate as the premium element.
