Of course, you can do anything without a written agreement. It is called a verbal agreement (sometimes also called an oral agreement). The fact that you do not have it written down does not make it invalid, it just makes it generally unenforceable in a court of law. But not always.
To make an agreement enforceable it should be written, although in certain circumstances it can even be enforceable without being written. For example, if there is enough evidence to show that a partnership existed, including things like a business plan, sworn testimony, bank statements & transaction records, or other documented proof that shows the legitimate existence of a partnership, then it is foreseeable that a non-written partnership agreement exists and is valid. It is just harder to prove that one exists.
In that case, the Uniform Partnership Act (or Revised Partnership Act, whichever is in effect in your State) will be applied to the verbal agreement and should be upheld in any State or local court. However, save yourself the hassle and get your partnership in writing as soon as feasibly possible to avoid this difficulty.
A Partnership Agreement (actual name of the document) dictates how the company is controlled, who has what powers, how the earnings / profits / capital is allocated, what is to happen in certain circumstances... They are pretty important. If a partnership is set up without a Partnership Agreement then it is considered a common-law partnership and everything is allocated equally among the partners.
Partnership Agreement is considered better as decision making process can be done easily. Business responsibilities and liabilities can easily be shared in a partnership agreement.
All partnership rights are detailed in the partnership agreement.

The difference between a partnership agreement and an operating agreement is that in the partnership agreement is set up for all owners or partners to be responsible for the company. The operating agreements differs in the fact that the agreement is for the person or people in charge of the operating requirements for the company.
true
That may not be possible but it may depend on the terms and provisions in the partnership agreement. However, the alternative may be the dissolution of the partnership, liquidation of all partnership assets, and distribution of shares to all partners according to their partnership agreement (or equally, if no agreement).
A partnership is constituted by an agreement between the partners. The agreement may be in writing or oral. But from the practical point of view and particularly in view of the provisions of other Acts such as the Income Tax Act as well as Partnership Act an oral partnership is not practicable, and therefore, a partnership agreement is necessarily required to be in writing. Therefore, the mere fact that two persons as joint owners either as heirs or legatees are carrying on a business it does not necessarily mean that they are partners and if they want to carry on the business in partnership, then a Partnership agreement in writing becomes necessary. For example, if a person dies leaving a running business and his heirs continue to carry on such business, it will not be a business carried on in partnership and if they want to do so they will have to enter into a regular agreement of partnership. Being an agreement and an agreement enforceable at law, such an agreement must fulfill the basic requirements of a valid contract, as required by the Contract Act. Therefore, a minor or a mentally handicapped person cannot enter into a partnership agreement though by virtue of the provisions of the Partnership Act a minor can be admitted only to the benefits of the partnership. But that only means that a minor can have a share in the profits of the business, but he cannot become a partner, and cannot execute any agreement of partnership.
