What is a Partnership Winding Up? This is similar to the liquidation of a company. When the partners have decided that the partnership has no viable future or purpose then a decision may be made to cease trading and wind up the partnership.
On the dissolution of a partnership every partner is entitled, as against the other partners in the firm, and all persons claiming through them in respect of their interests as partners, to have the property of the partnership applied in payment of the debts and liabilities of the firm, and to have the surplus assets
Once the debts owed to all creditors are satisfied, the partnership property will be distributed to each partner according to their ownership interest in the partnership. If there was a partnership agreement, then that document controls the distribution.
If dissolution is not covered in the partnership agreement, the partners can later create a separate dissolution agreement for that purpose. However, the default rule is that any remaining money or property will be distributed to each partner according to their ownership interest in the partnership.
Typically, state law provides that the partnership must first pay partners according to their share of capital contributions (the investments in the partnership), and then distribute any remaining assets equally.
To dissolve a Florida general partnership, the partners need to file a Certificate of Dissolution which will include the reason for the dissolution and the signatures of all the partners.
When a partnership dissolves, the individuals involved are no longer partners in a legal sense, but the partnership continues until the business's debts are settled, the legal existence of the business is terminated and the remaining assets of the company have been distributed.
Definition: Partnership liquidation is the process of closing the partnership and distributing its assets. Many times partners choose to dissolve and liquidate their partnerships to start new ventures. Other times, partnerships go bankrupt and are forced to liquidate in order to pay off their creditors.
Only partnership assets are to be divided among partners upon dissolution. If assets were used by the partnership, but did not form part of the partnership assets, then those assets will not be divided upon dissolution (see, for example, Hansen v Hansen, 2005 SKQB 436).
