Abstract
Selling a dental practice, whether due to a dentist's passing or a planned sale, requires careful legal considerations. Ensuring a successful sale involves understanding financial dynamics, representation warranties, and post-closing obligations. Special attention must be paid to post-sale employment agreements, indemnity clauses, and non-compete covenants. Unique to dental practice sales is the challenge of securing patient records as collateral due to ethical constraints. In cases of a dentist's demise, non-dentists can manage practice ownership temporarily, preserving its value by engaging dentists until lawful transfer is possible. Legal nuances in these scenarios demand strategic navigation for successful practice transfers.
