Which of the following is not necessary to create an express partnership?

  1. Execution of a written partnership agreement.
  2. Agreement to share ownership of the partnership.
  3. Intention to conduct a business for profit.
  4. Intention to create a relationship recognized as a partnership.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Choice "a" is correct. A written partnership agreement, while certainly desirable, is not usually necessary to form a valid partnership; partnership agreements are not normally subject to the statute of frauds.
Choice "b" is incorrect. A partnership is an association of two or more persons who agree to carry on as co- owners of a business for profit. Thus, an agreement to share ownership of the partnership is a requirement for creating an express partnership.
Choice "c" is incorrect. A partnership is an association of two or more persons who agree to carry on as co- owners of a business for profit. Thus, an intent to carry on a business for a profit is a requirement for creating an express partnership.
Choice "d" is incorrect. A partnership is an association of two or more persons who agree to carry on as co- owners of a business for profit. The intent to create a business relationship recognized as a partnership is a requirement for creating an express partnership.



Eller, Fort, and Owens do business as Venture Associates, a general partnership. ABC Corp. brought a breach of contract suit against Venture and Eller individually. ABC won the suit and filed a judgment against both Venture and Eller. ABC will generally be able to collect the judgment from:

  1. Partnership assets only.
  2. The personal assets of Eller, Fort, and Owens only.
  3. Eller's personal assets only after partnership assets are exhausted.
  4. Eller's personal assets only.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Choice "c" is correct.

The partnership assets must be exhausted before any general partner's individual assets can be attached.
Choices "a", "b", and "d" are incorrect, per the above rule.

  2. Erika and Shelby equally because they contributed the most.
  3. Heather, Erika, and Shelby equally because of state law.
  4. Erika and Shelby, because they originate most of the work.

Answer(s): C
