Legal heir responsibility after death of a partner

My Father and One other Person were in a Partnership firm and into the business of construction. They had taken money from an investor to construct the building. Unfortunately my father went into Coma in 2013 and was not in sense thereafter and in August 2015 he expired. Now that investor has filed a case against our firm. Since I am one partner I am ok to handover the firm's property to the investor but the second partner is not willing to handover anything to the investor. Because of this the investor has got an injuction against the firms and our personal properties. My personal property is a joint property and only 1/5th share is available to the investor. I want to now is there any way wherein I can save my 1/5th share since I have a dependent mother and I am the sole earner. I have lost everything of mine in my father's medical treatment still I am ok to give entire firm's property i.e. my share to the investor. Please Help

Well your relationship is governed by the Partnership deed and all of the disputes between you shall be governed by that.

Need to consult a lawyer having expertise in such matters.

Thank you Sir. He is my father who expired. And the partnership was at will

See if the partnership deed is dissolved if any partner is deceased

yes it is dissolved but these transactions happened when my father was alive.

Approach civil court against them.

Adv Ibrahim Deshmukh - Navi Mu (Advocate)     20 September 2019

It will be depending on the investor's claim and the value of work done by the construction firm as well as your late father's share in the partnership firm and the conditions of the deed. If in or around Mumbai, get in touch with us.
