Uniform Limited Partnership Act

This act governs the formation and operation of limited partnerships, providing for their creation through a publicly filed certificate and setting out how that certificate is executed, amended, corrected, restated, or cancelled. It builds the administrative machinery around those filings: rules for the partnership's name and the reservation of names, a required registered office and agent, methods of serving process on the partnership or on the state filing officer, forms and fees, when a filed document takes effect, the officer's power to refuse a filing and the right to appeal that refusal, certificates of existence, the evidentiary weight of official copies, and liability for false statements in a filed document. It also addresses the business a limited partnership may conduct, the rights, obligations, and indemnification of partners, notice and delivery of documents to partners, and suits brought by a partner — including who is a proper plaintiff, what the complaint must contain, and when a court may award expenses.
