| All property acquired by a partnership, by transfer or otherwise, | becomes partnership property and belongs to the partnership as an | entity, rather than to the individual partners. This expresses the | substantive result of UPA Sections 8(1) and 25. |
|
| | Neither UPA Section 8(1) nor RUPA Section 203 provides any | guidance concerning when property is "acquired by" the | partnership. That problem is dealt with in Section 204. |
|
| | UPA Sections 25(2)(c) and (e) also provide that partnership | property is not subject to exemptions, allowances, or rights of a | partner's spouse, heirs, or next of kin. Those provisions have | been omitted as unnecessary. No substantive change is intended. | Those exemptions and rights inure to the property of the | partners, and not to partnership property. |
