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.

In a limited partnership, a limited partner can be held liable for only the amount of money he or she invested in the company. In a general partnership, the individual liability for debts is the partner's share of the total amount of debts accrued by the partnership. In the USA individuals wishing to operate a business under a partnership, can choose to form three types of partnership: general partnership, limited partnership and limited liability partnership. In a general partnership the partners are responsible for all aspects of the business including the debts of the partnership. In a limited partnership there are two types of partners - general and limited. Each type of partner has different rights and responsibilities. Generally speaking, there is a limit on the liability of a limited partner, while the general partner's liabilities are not limited. A limited partnership consists of one or more general partners (i.e., those who are generally liable for the business) and one or more limited partners (i.e., those who have limited liability). If the statutory requirements are not followed, a limited partnership will be treated as a general partnership; therefore, it is important that you consult with an attorney in creating a limited partnership. LPs are created by filing an statement of registration with the Secretary of State, Corporations Division.For more information about General Partnerships and Limited Partnerships, you can follow the link below.A limited liability partnership protects the personal assets of the partners from creditors.
