2020); Abel v. American Art Analog, Inc., 838 F.2d 691 (3d Cir.
1988) (partnership purpose to market an art book); 68th Street
Apts., Inc. v. Lauricella, 362 A.2d 78 (N.J. Super. Ct. 1976)
(partnership purpose to construct an apartment building). A
partnership to conduct a business which may last indefinitely,
however, is an at-will partnership, even though there may be an
obligation of the partnership, such as a mortgage, which must be
repaid by a certain date, absent a specific agreement that no
partner can rightfully withdraw until the obligation is repaid.
See, e.g., Page v. Page, 55 Cal. 2d. 192, 359 P.2d 41 (1961)
(partnership purpose to operate a linen supply business); Frey v.
Hauke, supra (partnership purpose to contract and operate a bowling
alley); Girard Bank v. Haley, 460 Pa. 237, 332 A.2d 443 (1975)
(partnership purpose to maintain and lease buildings).

 
"Partnership interest" or "partner's interest in the
partnership" is defined to mean all of a partner's interests in
the partnership, including the partner's transferable interest
and all management and other rights. A partner's "transferable
interest" is a more limited concept and means only his share of
the profits and losses and right to receive distributions, that
is, the partner's economic interests. See Section 502 and
Comment. Compare RULPA § 101(10) ("partnership interest"
includes partner's economic interests only).

 
The definition of "person" is the usual definition used by the
National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws
(NCCUSL or the Conference). The definition includes other legal
or commercial entities such as limited liability companies.

 
"Property" is defined broadly to include all types of
property, as well as any interest in property.

 
The definition of "State" is the Conference's usual
definition.

 
The definition of "statement" is new and refers to one of the
various statements authorized by RUPA to enhance or limit the
agency authority of a partner, to deny the authority or status of
a partner, or to give notice of certain events, such as the
dissociation of a partner or the dissolution of the partnership.
See Sections 303, 304, 704, 805, and 907. Generally, Section 105
governs the execution, filing, and recording of all statements.
The definition also makes clear that a statement of qualification
under Section 1001 and a statement of foreign qualification under
Section 1102 are considered statements. Both qualification
statements are therefore subject to the execution, filing, and
recordation rules of Section 105.
