PARTNERSHIP

PARTNERS’ SHARE PROTECTION

Partners’ Share Protection provides money so that should one partner die or suffer from a terminal illness, the remaining partner(s) in the business may be able to afford to exercise an option to buy the deceased partner’s interest from his or her estate. Provision can also be made if a partner/director suffers a critical illness.
KEY ISSUES FOR PARTNERS TO CONSIDER IF NO PROTECTION IS IN PLACE
Where a share of a partnership has passed to the estate of a deceased partner, the family has two main options:

  1. A member of the family could take over the deceased’s position as partner.
  2. The family could realise the value of the interest by selling it.


Neither of these avenues is problem-free. Commercial experience, age, qualifications, ability, commitment or other reasons could prevent any members of the deceased’s family being capable of becoming a partner.

If the family of the deceased wishes to sell their interest in the partnership, the remaining partner(s) may find themselves working with an unwelcome new partner. Also, it may be difficult to find buyers which could lead to financial problems for both the family and the business.
