The Revised Uniform Partnership Act: The Reporters' Overview, Donald J. Weidner, John W. Larson Nov 1993

The Revised Uniform Partnership Act: The Reporters' Overview, Donald J. Weidner, John W. Larson

Scholarly Publications

This Article is a brief overview of what the Reporters believe to be the four basic contributions of the Revised Uniform Partnership Act (RUPA or Act). First, RUPA changes the law of partnership breakups and gives greater stability to partnerships by abandoning the traditional rule that a partnership is dissolved every time a member leaves. Second, RUPA makes clear that partners are not fiduciaries among themselves in the same sense as disinterested trustees. Specifically, RUPA states that partners legitimately may pursue self-interest without automatically running afoul of their fiduciary duties. On the other hand, RUPA provides an irreducible core of …

A Perspective To Reconsider Partnership Law, Donald J. Weidner Apr 1988

A Perspective To Reconsider Partnership Law, Donald J. Weidner

Scholarly Publications

The Uniform Partnership Act, unchanged in over seventy years, is being considered for revision by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. As Reporter to the Drafting Committee, Professor Weidner recommends that the revision process begin with a reconsideration of the fundamentals of partnership law. The drafters of the present act struggled to reconcile the conflicts between the entity and aggregate theories of partnership, conflicts which still permeate partnership law. While theoretical consistency may be desirable, a pragmatic approach to revision requires a structuring of partnership law that will serve the needs of both large and small partnerships. …

Transfers Of Partnership Interests And Optional Adjustments To Basis, Donald J. Weidner Jan 1980

Transfers Of Partnership Interests And Optional Adjustments To Basis, Donald J. Weidner

Scholarly Publications

In 1954, Congress enacted the first comprehensive statutory treatment of partners and partnerships in an attempt to clarify and simplify an area of the law it considered strikingly confused. A quarter of a century later, much confusion and complexity continues and must be dealt with by practitioners who do not have the luxury of specializing in tax, much less in partnership tax. The rules on optional adjustments to basis are particularly perplexing to many attorneys because they involve the accounting function, often foreign to the lawyer's training and talents, and often performed with heavy reliance on another profession. The two …

Passing Depreciation To Investor-Partners, Donald J. Weidner Jan 1973

Passing Depreciation To Investor-Partners, Donald J. Weidner

Scholarly Publications

The partnership form is an extremely popular vehicle for raising money for real estate development because of the opportunity to offer high-bracket investors "pass through" of partnership losses. These losses, in all but the most highly leveraged partnerships, are largely the result of depreciation deductions. Despite the tremendous popularity of real estate partnerships, limitations on allocations of partnership losses or of particular items of partnership deduction, have never been carefully defined. The purpose of this article is to explore possible limitations in the context of a variety of allocation arrangements currently in use.
