A,B,C,D,E are partners in a partnership company. After some years D&E died. The company was wound up and the remaining financial amount was distributed between them. After some more years the legal heirs of D & E found that there is a property in the name of the company represented by A as it’s managing director. A,B,C want to grab the full property and they do not want to give any money to the legal heirs of D & E. What should the legal heirs of D & E do now? They do not have enough money to file a case and afford the long wait time. They want to sell their undivided share to a third party for whatever amount they can get. Is it OK?

Hello,
In the property of a partnership firm all partner have their agreed share. So if legal heirs of D and E are deprived of their share then legal heirs of D and E can take legal action against other partners. In current circumstances, if legal heirs of D and E gets the buyers of their share then they can proceed and sale their share in the property.

Whether the partnership Firm was registered or not. If registered, the Form-V with the dissolution of partnership deed filed before the Registrar of Firms of the District concerned. the Partnership Firm two persons D & E died out of 5 persons, now there are A, B, and C. But the property of the firm shall be divided by all the partners according to their share percentage. And D & E partners died, the amount (capital + Profit as bank account statement) shall be paid to their legal heirs. But you have no right to sell your father's share in the firm. File a case in the court of law.

Partnership deed and deed of dissolution / accounts at the time of dissolution need to be analyzed.
If the property was in the name of partnership, was not accounted at the time of dissolution legal heirs of D & E have share in it.
If ABC are not ready to give their share, legal proceedings is the way left.
