Assignment of Partnership Interest

What is an Assignment of Partnership Interest?

An Assignment of Partnership Interest occurs when a partner sells their stake in a partnership to a third party. The assignment document records the details of the transfer to the new partner. The new partner will receive the benefits and obligations (including profits and losses) of the business partnership in exchange for compensation to the previous partner.

What is a partnership?

A partnership is a type of business organization where two or more individuals or business entities operate a business with the goal of making a profit.

Each partner typically has rights and obligations enforced by a Partnership Agreement including liabilities and rights to profits of the business.

Who are the parties in an Assignment of Partnership Interest?

There are two parties in the assignment of interest: assignor and assignee.

The assignor is the business partner who is transferring their rights in the partnership in exchange for compensation.

The assignee is a new partner who purchases the previous partner's interest in the partnership.

Do other partners have a say in who buys the interest in a partnership?

If there is a Partnership Agreement in place the answer is most likely, yes. A Partnership Agreement governing the activities of the partnership and conduct of the partners will often place some restrictions on the nature of the interest which may be acquired.

For example, the transferring partner might be limited to transferring only their economic interests and rights which would prevent the recipient of transferred interest from becoming a full partner (with voting rights and managerial input) by assignment alone. Full admission to the partnership would be decided by the remaining partners based on the terms of the Partnership Agreement.

The category of assignee is something else the partnership might have good reason for restricting. For example, federal tax audit rules introduced in 2018 mean that partnerships will be treated as taxable entities if one or more of the partners is itself a partnership, a trust, or an LLC. To avoid such tax consequences, and preserve individual tax treatment for the partners, the partnership agreement might prohibit assignments of partnership interest may be sold to any such business entity.

How is an Assignment of Partnership Interest created?

To create an Assignment of Partnership Interest, there should be a drafted document that records the transfer of rights and benefits from one partner to another and the exchange of compensation.

The partnership interest document should include:

  • Type of interest: either full partnership interest or limited to the economic rights in distribution
  • Partnership information: partnership name (e.g. Smith and Associates), establishment date, and purpose
  • Assignor details: name, address, and type of party (individual or business entity) of the partner transferring rights and benefits to a new partner
  • Assignee details: name, address, and type of party of the new partner receiving rights and benefits of the assignor
  • Remaining partner details (if applicable): name, address, and type of party of other partners still part of the partnership
  • Consideration details: a description of the price and agreed value to be exchanged for interest in the partnership (e.g. a monetary value or shares in stock)
  • Signing details: witness signatures (if applicable), party signatures, and the signing date

Related Documents:

  • Joint Venture Agreement: an agreement between two or more parties who agree to combine resources for a specific time frame as a business arrangement for completing a particular project or goal
  • LLC Operating Agreement: an internal management document that details the rights and responsibilities and other operational details for members running a limited liability company
  • Notice of Withdrawal from Partnership: a notice served by a partner intending to leave a partnership or served by a partnership removing a partner for any given reason
  • Partnership Agreement: a document that governs the management of a partnership and details the rights and obligations of partners
  • Partnership Amendment: a form used to make changes to the terms of an existing Partnership Agreement
