What would happen to your firm if one of the partners died
How seriously would it affect your business?
According to Hong Kong legislation, a partnership is dissolved upon the death of any partner, unless there is an agreement pre-arranged between the partners. In addition, the deceased partner’s share may become a debt of the surviving partners. Without a Buy-Sell Agreement, the following problems may arise:
Problem 1
Do you want to work with the deceased partner's successor? Might a conflict occur in management style?
Problem 2
If the successor wants to sell the deceased partner's share, who will purchase it? At what price?
Problem 3
If no agreement is made, the firm has to be dissolved. The price of the dissolving business would most likely be lower than its actual value. You may suffer a loss.
