Legal Question in Business Law in Georgia

I have a private practice for behavioral health and I want to sell it. I know what has to be done legally and ethically regarding transferring of patients, however, how do I transfer the business itself to the new owner? What type of contract do I need? How do I handle banking? Accounts receivable and payables? Contracts for services? My goal is to walk away from the sale clean with the only obligation is to stay on for a year for consultations.
