[All CPA-Business Questions]

Lisa is a limited partner in a limited partnership. Jen, one of the other limited partners, is seeking to sell her interest in the partnership to Karen and allow Karen to become a new limited partner. Which of the following statements is true?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Choice 'd' is correct. Limited partners have the right to vote on the transfer of interest and admission of a new partner. Admission of a new partner requires unanimous consent.

Choice 'a' is incorrect. A limited partner who acts as a general partner loses her limited liability status to those she acted as a general partner towards.

Choice 'b' is incorrect. Partners can freely transfer their interests in profits and losses to third parties, but the third party cannot become a limited partner without the unanimous consent of the other partners.

Choice 'c' is incorrect. Limited partners must give 6 months notice of withdrawal in absence of an agreement to the contrary.

I’m not sure, but I feel like Jen might need approval from the other partners to transfer her interest. B could be tricky.

I think I remember that limited partners generally can't manage the partnership without risking their liability. So, A seems wrong.
