The short answer is that you need to sit down with a lawyer who can draft an appropriate agreement, especially since you are concerned there might be hidden liabilities. The scope of what you're asking doesn't really fit into a public bulletin board. It's important that you get someone knowledgeable about this type of transaction in your industry. Whatever you spend in legal fees for a contract will be much, much less than you'll spend if a lawsuit comes up. (And you'll get a better deal.)
