Just as a matter of information, as I understand it. The provisions of a Partnership Agreement over-ride the provisions of a partner’s will. So if you casually suggest that a partnership agreement would be a good idea, you can be sure that what is stated in the partnership agreement will stand legally, irrespective of the provisions of any one partner’s will.
If you are in an informal partnership with no written agreement, and the other partners are unwilling to draw up an agreement, you should get the hell out of there.
an informal partnership, in the event of 'trouble' you revert back to the 1895 partnership act, which basically splits it 50/50. I use the word trouble, as I couldn't think of a better word, it can be useful in some special cases, but generally better to have everything settled !
