More details to this question:

You should have a contract of sale with him personally so that he would be personally liable if he stopped paying. You could also require him to pledge the shares as security for the payment and have terms in the agreement that would, in essence, enable you to get  the shares back if he stopped paying soon after the deal was made. This is not intended to be legal advice, and is general in  its nature. No attorney-client relationship exists or is formed by this information. Furthermore, this does not represent the views or opinions of LexisNexis or its affiliated companies.
