living trust as a partner
I know there has been much discussion through the years
regarding allowing a "Living Trust" as a partner and I agree
with most of the comments in favor of allowing it in your
partnership agreement. But, my one concern is that
creditors can go after a "Living Trust". For the clubs that
currently allow "Living Trust" as partners, what are your
thoughts?
Thanks,
Beth Smith
Creditors can go after (serve a Writ of Attachment, Execution, or
Garnishment; whichever is appropriate in your state) on the person's
interest in the club partnership regardless of whether it is owned in an
individual capacity or in a living trust. Therefore, it is not a reason to
avoid having a person hold their interest in the partnership in a living
trust.

FWIW, all of our partners are trusts, none are persons. Makes life easy for the partnership, we anticipate, when a partner becomes unalived.
