What is the liability for members of partnerships?
There are two basic kinds of partnerships - general and limited partnerships:In a general partnership, the partners not only contribute money or property to the partnership, but they also participate in running the partnership's business.They are all considered "general partners", and every one of them can be held personally liable for a judgment against the partnership. That is, their personal assets can be seized to satisfy such a judgment if the partnerships assets are insufficient. What is more, general partners are jointly and severally liable, which means that a plaintiff, if he wishes, can recover the entire amount of a judgment from any single partner or combination of partners. (The partners who have to pay can sue the other partners for reimbursement of their share of the judgment).In a limited partnership, not all of the partners are general partners (although there must be at least one general partner, who is personally liable for partnership obligations just as in a general partnership). The limited partners are truly "silent" partners; they contribute money or property to the limited partnership, but they have no say in the running of the partnership's business, and they are not personally liablefor partnership obligations (i.e., their personal assets are protected from being seized to satisfy a judgment against the partnership.) Their liability for any judgment against the partnership is limited to the amount of their contribution to the partnership. So, while a limited partner could lose the amount of his investment in the partnership, that is all he can lose.

How do general partnership limited partnership and limited liability partnership differ?
All of the partners in a general partnership are fully liable for all debts and obligations of the partnership. In a limited partnership, there is always one or more general partners and one or more limited partners. The general partner(s) in a limited partnership, like the partners in a general partnership, are fully liable for all debts and obligations of the partnership. The limited partners, on the other hand, are not liable for any debts or obligations of the partnership beyond the amount that they have contributed or committed to contribute to the partnership. In other words, limited partners can lose their entire investment in the partnership but a creditor of the partnership cannot go after the other assets of the limited partners. A limited liability partnership (LLP) is created by state statute, as is the limited partnership, but compared to the limited partnership statutes, there is much more variation in LLPs from state to state. That makes any general description potentially wrong, based on the law of the specific state in which the LLP is operating. Generally, all or some of the partners in an LLP have some degree of limited liability protection. The partners usually have to be members of a licensed profession such as CPAs, attorneys or engineers.
