Answer

If it is a going business concern the court will dissolve the partnership, and require the business to be woundup. This include the distribution/sale of assets, and the payment of all liabilities. You may consider trying to find a different partner to purchase the existing partners share.

 

If it is just real property, a judge can order the property divided if that is possible or put up for sale.

How long does this procedure usually take? Real property in this area is NOT selling

Accepted Answer

It takes however long it takes. The property will be put up for sale and when it sells it sells. The partnership will not be completely wound up until the sael is compmlete and a final distribution made. The other matters are simply accounting, and distrbution of the assets.
