A Limited Partnership is formed in Ontario according to the statutes of the Ontario Limited Partnership Act. A limited partnership is a partnership governed by statute and any governing documents agreed to between the parties (e.g. limited partnership agreement).
Sale of Partnership Interest
It is typically best to prohibit the sale or transfer in any manner, of a partner’s partnership interest to an outside third party (other permitted transfers to “controlled” corporations or other entities can be considered for tax planning purposes). However, the agreement could provide for a “put right” of a retiring or withdrawing partners if the continuing partners refuse to buy out a retiring or withdrawing partner. Some partnership agreements do not provide for any formal purchase of departing partners’ partnership interests (i.e., attribute no goodwill to partnership interests) and merely deal with final distributions of profit and capital to the departing partner who ceases to be a partner (subject to any continuing payment rights and surviving obligations to the partnership including set-off rights against unpaid amounts or liability to firm creditors for acts prior to departure, etc.). Some partnerships can consider residual payments to retiring partners as a form of retirement plan, etc.
