Partnerships & Limited Partnerships
In business terminology, a partnership generally refers to a general partnership which is basically a business with more than one owner. In a partnership, the owners have not filed papers with the state to establish a business entity such as an LLC. Partners are liable for any debts or judgments against the business and each partner has the authority to make binding agreements on behalf of the business.
Willing your share of a general partnership to your children can be complicated as the tax laws can be unforgiving. It is very important to contact a knowledgeable San Jose estate planning lawyer to work with you to develop a strategy that protects you and the next generation.
Limited partnerships also have more than one owner but this particular organizational structure protects some of the owners from liabilities. In a limited partnership, at least one partner is considered a general partner that is responsible for making business decisions and is also responsible for any liabilities. The limited partners invest money but are not active in the operation of the business and are not liable for debt or judgments against the company.
