WITHDRAWAL OR DEATH OF PARTNER

6 May, 2015 - 17:10

The withdrawal or death of a partner dissolves a partnership. A partnership can operate undisturbed only if the remaining partners agree to purchase the withdrawing partner's interest. In the event of the death of a partner, a stipulation in the partnership agreement may allow a business to operate for a period of time until assets are transferred to the deceased's estate. When a withdrawing partner's assets are bought out by existing partners, only capital accounts are effected.

If a partner is paid from assets of the business, the result will be a decrease in asset and capital accounts.
