Closing Partnership Firm

Closing Partnership Firm

Dissolving a partnership firm means discontinuing the business under the name of said partnership firm. In this case, all liabilities are finally settled by selling off assets or transferring them to a particular partner, settling all accounts existed with the partnership firm.

Reason

Although the liabilities of the partners cease to exist once the firm is dissolved, the partners are liable for any act prior to the dissolution of the firm. Only partners who are incapacitated as insolvent or dead are exempt from the liability.
