The sharing of gross returns does not of itself establish a partnership, whether or not the persons sharing them have a joint or common right or interest in any property from which the returns are derived. 4. The receipt by a person of a share of the profits of a business is prima facie evidence that the person is a partner in the business, but no such inference may be drawn if such profits were received in payment: (a) As a debt by installments or otherwise; (b) As wages of an employee or rent to a landlord; (c) As an annuity to a surviving spouse or representative of a deceased partner; (d) As interest on a loan, though the amount of payment vary with the profits of the business; or (e) As the consideration for the sale of a goodwill of a business or other property by installments or otherwise.

A conveyance to a partnership in the partnership name, though without words of inheritance, passes the entire estate of the grantor unless a contrary intent appears.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.090 Partner agent of partnership; restrictions on authority.

1. Every partner is an agent of the partnership for the purpose of its business, and the act of every partner, including the execution in the partnership name of any instrument, for apparently carrying on in the usual way the business of the partnership of which the partner is a member binds the partnership, unless the partner so acting has in fact no authority to act for the partnership in the particular matter, and the person with whom the partner is dealing has knowledge of the fact that the partner has no such authority. 2. An act of a partner which is not apparently for the carrying on of the business of the partnership in the usual way does not bind the partnership unless authorized by the other partners. 3. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5, unless authorized by the other partners or unless they have abandoned the business, one or more but less than all the partners have no authority to: (a) Assign the partnership property in trust for creditors or on the assignees promise to pay the debts of the partnership; (b) Dispose of the goodwill of the business; (c) Do any other act which would make it impossible to carry on the ordinary business of a partnership; (d) Confess a judgment; or (e) Submit a partnership claim or liability to arbitration or reference. 4. No act of a partner in contravention of a restriction on authority shall bind the partnership to persons having knowledge of the restriction. 5. One or more of the partners designated in an agreement among all of the partners may sell all or substantially all of the property of the partnership without the unanimous approval or consent of the partners if: (a) The sale is approved by a vote; or (b) The prior consent of the partners for a sale of all or substantially all of the property has been given in an agreement among the partners, Ê and written notice of the sale is sent by registered or certified mail to all partners at least 15 days before the date of the sale.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.100 Conveyance of real property of partnership.

1. Where title to real property is in the partnership name, any partner may convey title to such property by a conveyance signed in the partnership name, but the partnership may recover such property unless the partners act binds the partnership under the provisions of subsection 1 of NRS 87.090 or unless such property has been conveyed by the grantee or a person claiming through such grantee to a holder for value without knowledge that the partner, in making the conveyance, has exceeded his or her authority. 2. Where title to real property is in the name of the partnership, a conveyance signed by a partner, in his or her own name, passes the equitable interest of the partnership, provided the act is one within the authority of the partner under the provisions of subsection 1 of NRS 87.090 . 3. Where title to real property is in the name of one or more but not all the partners, and the record does not disclose the right of the partnership, the partners in whose name the title stands may convey title to such property, but the partnership may recover such property if the partners act does not bind the partnership under the provisions of subsection 1 of NRS 87.090 , unless the purchaser, or his or her assignee, is a holder for value without knowledge. 4. Where the title to real property is in the name of one or more or all the partners, or in a third person in trust for the partnership, a conveyance signed by a partner in the partnership name, or in his or her own name, passes the equitable interest of the partnership, provided the act is one within the authority of the partner under the provisions of subsection 1 of NRS 87.090 . 5. Where the title to real property is in the names of all the partners a conveyance signed by all the partners passes all their rights in such property.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.110 Partnership bound by admission of partner.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.120 Partnership charged with knowledge of or notice to partner.

Notice to any partner of any matter relating to partnership affairs, and the knowledge of the partner acting in the particular matter, acquired while a partner or then present to his or her mind, and the knowledge of any other partner who reasonably could and should have communicated it to the acting partner, operate as notice to or knowledge of the partnership, except in the case of a fraud on the partnership committed by or with the consent of that partner.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.130 Partnership bound by partners wrongful act.

Where by any wrongful act or omission of any partner acting in the ordinary course of the business of the partnership or with the authority of his or her copartners, loss or injury is caused to any person, not being a partner in the partnership, or any penalty is incurred, the partnership is liable therefor to the same extent as the partner so acting or omitting to act.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.140 Partnership bound by partners breach of trust.

The partnership is bound to make good the loss: 1. Where one partner acting within the scope of his or her apparent authority receives money or property of a third person and misapplies it; and 2.

1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, all partners are liable: (a) Jointly and severally for everything chargeable to the partnership under NRS 87.130 and 87.140 . (b) Jointly for all other debts and obligations of the partnership; but any partner may enter into a separate obligation to perform a partnership contract. 2. Subject to subsection 3, a partner in a registered limited-liability partnership is not liable directly or indirectly, by way of indemnification, contribution, assessment or otherwise, for debts, obligations or liabilities of or chargeable to the partnership, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, arising from omissions, negligence, wrongful acts, misconduct or malpractice committed while the partnership is a registered limited-liability partnership and in the course of the partnership business by another partner or an employee, agent or representative of the partnership. 3. Subsection 2 does not affect the liability of a partner in a registered limited-liability partnership for his or her own omissions, negligence, wrongful acts, misconduct or malpractice or that of any person under his or her direct supervision and control. 4. A partner in a registered limited-liability partnership is not a proper party to a proceeding by or against the registered limited-liability partnership, the object of which is to recover damages or enforce the obligations arising out of the acts, omissions, malpractice or misconduct of the type described in subsection 2 unless the partner is personally liable under subsection 3.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.160 Partner by estoppel.

1. When a person, by words spoken or written or by conduct, represents himself or herself, or consents to another representing him or her to any one, as a partner in an existing partnership or with one or more persons not actual partners, the person is liable to any such person to whom such representation has been made who has, on the faith of such representation, given credit to the actual or apparent partnership, and if the person has made such representation or consented to its being made in a public manner the person is liable to such person, whether the representation has or has not been made or communicated to such person so giving credit by or with the knowledge of the apparent partner making the representation or consenting to its being made. (a) When a partnership liability results, the person is liable as though the person were an actual member of the partnership. (b) When no partnership liability results, the person is liable jointly with the other persons, if any, so consenting to the contract or representation as to incur liability, otherwise separately. 2. When a person has been thus represented to be a partner in an existing partnership, or with one or more persons not actual partners, the person is an agent of the persons consenting to such representation to bind them to the same extent and in the same manner as though he or she were a partner in fact, with respect to persons who rely upon the representation. Where all the members of the existing partnership consent to the representation, a partnership act or obligation results; but in all other cases it is the joint act or obligation of the person acting and the persons consenting to the representation. 3. This section does not apply to any person who, by words spoken or written or by conduct, announces an association of persons for the sole purpose of a business development, regardless of whether such an announcement uses, or the association of persons is described by, the terms partnering or joint venturing or any other similar term, so long as the business development is undertaken by one or more corporations or limited-liability companies.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.170 Liability of incoming partner.

A person admitted as a partner into an existing partnership is liable for all the obligations of the partnership arising before admission as though the person had been a partner when such obligations were incurred, except that this liability shall be satisfied only out of partnership property.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.180 Rules determining rights and duties of partners.

The rights and duties of the partners in relation to the partnership are determined, subject to any agreement between them, by the following rules: 1. Each partner must be repaid his or her contributions, whether by way of capital or advances to the partnership property, and share equally in the profits and surplus remaining after all liabilities, including those to partners, are satisfied. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2 of NRS 87.150 , each partner shall contribute towards the losses, whether of capital or otherwise, sustained by the partnership according to his or her share in the profits. 2. The partnership shall indemnify every partner in respect of payments made and personal liabilities reasonably incurred by the partner in the ordinary and proper conduct of its business, or for the preservation of its business or property. 3. A partner, who in aid of the partnership makes any payment or advance beyond the amount of capital which the partner agreed to contribute, must be paid interest from the date of the payment or advance. 4. A partner may receive interest on the capital contributed by him or her only from the date when repayment should be made. 5. All partners have equal rights in the management and conduct of the partnership business. 6. No partner is entitled to remuneration for acting in the partnership business, except that a surviving partner is entitled to reasonable compensation for his or her services in winding up the partnership affairs. 7. No person may become a member of a partnership without the consent of all the partners. 8. Any difference arising as to ordinary matters connected with the partnership business may be decided by a majority of the partners. No act in contravention of any agreement between the partners may be done rightfully without the consent of all the partners.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.190 Partnerships books.

The partnership books shall be kept, subject to any agreement between the partners, at the principal place of business of the partnership, and every partner shall at all times have access to and may inspect and copy any of them.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.210 Partner accountable as fiduciary.

1. Every partner must account to the partnership for any benefit and hold as trustee for it any profits derived by the partner without the consent of the other partners from any transaction connected with the formation, conduct, or liquidation of the partnership or from any use by the partner of its property. 2. This section applies also to the representatives of a deceased partner engaged in the liquidation of the affairs of the partnership as the personal representatives of the last surviving partner.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.220 Right to formal account.

Any partner shall have the right to a formal account as to partnership affairs: 1. If the partner is wrongfully excluded from the partnership business or possession of its property by his or her copartners; 2. If the right exists under the terms of any agreement; 3. As provided by NRS 87.210 ; or 4. Whenever other circumstances render it just and reasonable.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.230 Continuation of partnership beyond fixed term.

1. When a partnership for a fixed term or particular undertaking is continued after the termination of such term or particular undertaking without any express agreement, the rights and duties of the partners remain the same as they were at such termination, so far as is consistent with a partnership at will. 2. A continuation of the business by partners or such of them as habitually acted therein during the term, without any settlement or liquidation of the partnership affairs, is prima facie evidence of a continuation of the partnership.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.240 Extent of property rights of partner.

The property rights of a partner are: 1. His or her rights in specific partnership property; 2. His or her interest in the partnership; and 3. His or her right to participate in the management.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.250 Nature of partners right in specific property of partnership.

1. A partner is co-owner with the other partners of specific partnership property holding as a tenant in partnership. 2. The incidents of this tenancy are such that: (a) A partner, subject to the provisions of NRS 87.010 to 87.430 , inclusive, and to any agreement between the partners, has an equal right with the other partners to possess specific partnership property for partnership purposes; but a partner has no right to possess such property for any other purpose without the consent of the other partners. (b) A partners right in specific partnership property is not assignable except in connection with the assignment of rights of all the partners in the same property. (c) A partners right in specific partnership property is not subject to attachment or execution, except on a claim against the partnership. When partnership property is attached for a partnership debt the partners, or any of them, or the representatives of a deceased partner, cannot claim any right under the homestead or exemption laws. (d) On the death of a partner his or her right in specific partnership property vests in the surviving partner or partners, except where the deceased was the last surviving partner, when his or her right in such property vests in his or her legal representative. Such surviving partner or partners, or the legal representative of the last surviving partner, has no right to possess the partnership property for any but a partnership purpose. (e) A partners right in specific partnership property is not subject to dower, curtesy or allowances to widows, widowers, heirs or next of kin.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.260 Nature of partners interest in partnership.

A partners interest in the partnership is his or her share of the profits and surplus, and the same is personal property.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.270 Assignment of partners interest.

1. A conveyance by a partner of his or her interest in the partnership does not of itself dissolve the partnership, nor, as against the other partners in the absence of agreement, entitle the assignee, during the continuance of the partnership, to interfere in the management or administration of the partnership business or affairs, or to require any information or account of partnership transactions, or to inspect the partnership books; but it merely entitles the assignee to receive in accordance with the contract the profits to which the assigning partner would otherwise be entitled. 2. In case of a dissolution of the partnership, the assignee is entitled to receive the assignors interest and may require an account from the date only of the last account agreed to by all the partners.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.280 Partners interest subject to charging order.

1. On due application to a competent court by any judgment creditor of a partner, the court which entered the judgment, order, or decree, or any other court, may charge the interest of the debtor partner with payment of the unsatisfied amount of such judgment debt with interest thereon; and may then or later appoint a receiver of the debtor partners share of the profits, and of any other money due or to fall due to the debtor partner in respect of the partnership, and make all other orders, directions, accounts and inquiries which the debtor partner might have made, or which the circumstances of the case may require. 2. The interest charged may be redeemed at any time before foreclosure, or in case of a sale being directed by the court may be purchased without thereby causing a dissolution: (a) With separate property, by any one or more of the partners; or (b) With partnership property, by any one or more of the partners with the consent of all the partners whose interests are not so charged or sold. 3. Nothing in the provisions of NRS 87.010 to 87.430 , inclusive, shall be held to deprive a partner of his or her right, if any, under the exemption laws, as regards the partners interest in the partnership.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.290 Dissolution defined.

Dissolution is caused: 1. Without violation of the agreement between the partners: (a) By the termination of the definite term or particular undertaking specified in the agreement; (b) By the express will of any partner when no definite term or particular undertaking is specified; (c) By the express will of all the partners who have not assigned their interests or suffered them to be charged for their separate debts, either before or after the termination of any specified term or particular undertaking; or (d) By the expulsion of any partner from the business bona fide in accordance with such a power conferred by the agreement between the partners; 2. In contravention of the agreement between the partners, where the circumstances do not permit a dissolution under any other provision of this section, by the express will of any partner at any time; 3. By any event which makes it unlawful for the business of the partnership to be carried on or for the members to carry it on in partnership; 4. By the death of any partner; 5.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.320 Dissolution by decree of court.

On the application of the purchaser of a partners interest under NRS 87.270 or 87.280 : (a) After the termination of the specified term or particular undertaking; or (b) At any time if the partnership was a partnership at will when the interest was assigned or when the charging order was issued.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.330 General effect of dissolution on authority of partner.

Except so far as may be necessary to wind up partnership affairs or to complete transactions begun but not then finished, dissolution terminates all authority of any partner to act for the partnership: 1. With respect to the partners: (a) When the dissolution is not by the act, bankruptcy or death of a partner; or (b) When the dissolution is by such act, bankruptcy or death of a partner, in cases where NRS 87.340 so requires. 2. With respect to persons not partners, as declared in NRS 87.350 .

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.340 Right of partner to contribution from copartners after dissolution.

Where the dissolution is caused by the act, death or bankruptcy of a partner, each partner is liable to his or her copartners for his or her share of any liability created by any partner acting for the partnership as if the partnership had not been dissolved unless: 1. The dissolution being by act of any partner, the partner acting for the partnership had knowledge of the dissolution; 2. The dissolution being by the death or bankruptcy of a partner, the partner acting for the partnership had knowledge or notice of the death or bankruptcy; or 3. The liability is one for which the partner is not liable under subsection 2 of NRS 87.150 .

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.350 Power of partner to bind partnership to third persons after dissolution.

1. After dissolution a partner can bind the partnership except as provided in subsection 3: (a) By any act appropriate for winding up partnership affairs or completing transactions unfinished at dissolution. (b) By any transaction which would bind the partnership if dissolution had not taken place, provided the other party to the transaction: (1) Had extended credit to the partnership prior to dissolution and had no knowledge or notice of the dissolution; or (2) Though the other party had not so extended credit, had nevertheless known of the partnership prior to dissolution and, having no knowledge or notice of dissolution, the fact of dissolution had not been advertised in a newspaper of general circulation in the place (or in each place if more than one) at which the partnership business was regularly carried on. 2. The liability of a partner under paragraph (b) of subsection 1 shall be satisfied out of partnership assets alone when such partner had been prior to dissolution: (a) Unknown as a partner to the person with whom the contract is made; and (b) So far unknown and inactive in partnership affairs that the business reputation of the partnership could not be said to have been in any degree due to the partners connection with it. 3. The partnership is in no case bound by any act of a partner after dissolution: (a) Where the partnership is dissolved because it is unlawful to carry on the business, unless the act is appropriate for winding up partnership affairs; (b) Where the partner has become bankrupt; or (c) Where the partner has no authority to wind up partnership affairs, except by a transaction with one who: (1) Had extended credit to the partnership prior to dissolution and had no knowledge or notice of the partners want of authority; or (2) Had not extended credit to the partnership prior to dissolution, and, having no knowledge or notice of the partners want of authority, the fact of the partners want of authority has not been advertised in the manner provided for advertising the fact of dissolution in subparagraph (2) of paragraph (b) of subsection 1. 4. Nothing in this section shall affect the liability under NRS 87.160 of any person who after dissolution represents himself or herself or consents to another representing him or her as a partner in a partnership engaged in carrying on business.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.360 Effect of dissolution on partners existing liability.

1. The dissolution of the partnership does not of itself discharge the existing liability of any partner. 2. A partner is discharged from any existing liability upon dissolution of the partnership by an agreement to that effect between the partner, the partnership creditor and the person or partnership continuing the business. Such an agreement may be inferred from the course of dealing between the creditor having knowledge of the dissolution and the person or partnership continuing the business. 3. Where a person agrees to assume the existing obligations of a dissolved partnership, the partners whose obligations have been assumed are discharged from any liability to any creditor of the partnership who, knowing of the agreement, consents to a material alteration in the nature or time of payment of such obligations. 4. The individual property of a deceased partner is liable for all obligations of the partnership incurred while the deceased partner was a partner and for which the deceased partner was liable under NRS 87.150 , but is subject to the prior payment of the deceased partners separate debts.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.370 Right to wind up.

Unless otherwise agreed the partners who have not wrongfully dissolved the partnership, or the legal representative of the last surviving partner, not bankrupt, has the right to wind up the partnership affairs; provided, however, that any partner or his or her legal representative or assignee, upon cause shown, may obtain winding up by the court.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.380 Rights of partners to application of property of partnership.

1. When dissolution is caused in any way, except in contravention of the partnership agreement, each partner as against his or her copartners and all persons claiming through them in respect of their interests in the partnership, unless otherwise agreed, may have the partnership property applied to discharge its liabilities, and the surplus applied to pay in cash the net amount owing to the respective partners. But if dissolution is caused by expulsion of a partner, bona fide under the partnership agreement and if the expelled partner is discharged from all partnership liabilities, either by payment or agreement under subsection 2 of NRS 87.360 , the expelled partner shall receive in cash only the net amount due him or her from the partnership. 2. When dissolution is caused in contravention of the partnership agreement the rights of the partners shall be as follows: (a) Each partner who has not caused dissolution wrongfully shall have: (1) All the rights specified in subsection 1 of this section; and (2) The right, as against each partner who has caused the dissolution wrongfully, to damages for breach of the agreement. (b) The partners who have not caused the dissolution wrongfully, if they all desire to continue the business in the same name, either by themselves or jointly with others, may do so, during the agreed term for the partnership, and for that purpose may possess the partnership property, provided they secure the payment by bond approved by the court, or pay to any partner who has caused the dissolution wrongfully, the value of his or her interest in the partnership at the dissolution, less any damages recoverable under subparagraph (2) of paragraph (a) of subsection 2, and in like manner indemnify him or her against all present or future partnership liabilities. (c) A partner who has caused the dissolution wrongfully shall have: (1) If the business is not continued under the provisions of paragraph (b) of subsection 2, all the rights of a partner under subsection 1, subject to subparagraph (2) of paragraph (a) of subsection 2; or (2) If the business is continued under paragraph (b) of subsection 2, the right as against his or her copartners and all claiming through them in respect of their interests in the partnership, to have the value of his or her interest in the partnership, less any damages caused to his or her copartners by the dissolution, ascertained and paid to him or her in cash, or the payment secured by bond approved by the court, and to be released from all existing liabilities of the partnership; but in ascertaining the value of the partners interest the value of the goodwill of the business shall not be considered.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.390 Rights where partnership is dissolved for fraud or misrepresentation.

A partnership may recover partnership property from a transferee only if it proves that execution of the instrument of initial transfer did not bind the partnership under NRS 87.4325 and: (a) As to a subsequent transferee who gave value for property transferred under paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection 1, proves that the subsequent transferee knew or had received a notification that the person who executed the instrument of initial transfer lacked authority to bind the partnership; or (b) As to a transferee who gave value for property transferred under paragraph (c) of subsection 1, proves that the transferee knew or had received a notification that the property was partnership property and that the person who executed the instrument of initial transfer lacked authority to bind the partnership. 3. A partnership may not recover partnership property from a subsequent transferee if the partnership would not have been entitled to recover the property, under subsection 2, from any earlier transferee of the property. 4. If a person holds all of the partners interests in the partnership, all of the partnership property vests in that person. The person may execute a document in the name of the partnership to evidence vesting of the property in that person and may file or record the document.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4327 Statement of partnership authority.

1. A partnership may file a statement of partnership authority, which: (a) Must include: (1) The name of the partnership; (2) The street address of its chief executive office and of one office in this State, if there is one; (3) The names and mailing addresses of all of the partners or of an agent appointed and maintained by the partnership for the purpose of subsection 2; and (4) The names of the partners authorized to execute an instrument transferring real property held in the name of the partnership; and (b) May state the authority, or limitations on the authority, of some or all of the partners to enter into other transactions on behalf of the partnership and any other matter. 2. If a statement of partnership authority names an agent, the agent shall maintain a list of the names and mailing addresses of all of the partners and make it available to any person on request for good cause shown. 3. If a filed statement of partnership authority is executed pursuant to subsection 3 of NRS 87.4318 and states the name of the partnership but does not contain all of the other information required by subsection 1, the statement nevertheless operates with respect to a person not a partner as provided in subsections 4 and 5. 4. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 7, a filed statement of partnership authority supplements the authority of a partner to enter into transactions on behalf of the partnership as follows: (a) Except for transfers of real property, a grant of authority contained in a filed statement of partnership authority is conclusive in favor of a person who gives value without knowledge to the contrary, so long as and to the extent that a limitation on that authority is not then contained in another filed statement. A filed cancellation of a limitation on authority revives the previous grant of authority. (b) A grant of authority to transfer real property held in the name of the partnership contained in a certified copy of a filed statement of partnership authority recorded in the office for recording transfers of that real property is conclusive in favor of a person who gives value without knowledge to the contrary, so long as and to the extent that a certified copy of a filed statement containing a limitation on that authority is not then of record in the office for recording transfers of that real property. The recording in the office for recording transfers of that real property of a certified copy of a filed cancellation of a limitation on authority revives the previous grant of authority. 5. A person not a partner is deemed to know of a limitation on the authority of a partner to transfer real property held in the name of the partnership if a certified copy of the filed statement containing the limitation on authority is of record in the office for recording transfers of that real property. 6. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 4 and 5 and NRS 87.4349 and 87.4355 , a person not a partner is not deemed to know of a limitation on the authority of a partner merely because the limitation is contained in a filed statement. 7. Unless earlier cancelled, a filed statement of partnership authority is cancelled by operation of law 5 years after the date on which the statement, or the most recent amendment, was filed with the Secretary of State.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4328 Statement of denial.

A partner or other person named as a partner in a filed statement of partnership authority or in a list maintained by an agent pursuant to subsection 2 of NRS 87.4327 may file a statement of denial stating the name of the partnership and the fact that is being denied, which may include denial of a persons authority or status as a partner. A statement of denial is a limitation on authority as provided in subsections 4 and 5 of NRS 87.4327.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4329 Partnership liable for actionable conduct of partner.

1. A partnership is liable for loss or injury caused to a person, or for a penalty incurred, as a result of a wrongful act or omission, or other actionable conduct, of a partner acting in the ordinary course of business of the partnership or with authority of the partnership. 2. If, in the course of the partnerships business or while acting with authority of the partnership, a partner receives or causes the partnership to receive money or property of a person not a partner, and the money or property is misapplied by a partner, the partnership is liable for the loss.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4331 Actions by and against partnership and partners.

1. A partnership may sue and be sued in the name of the partnership. 2. An action may be brought against the partnership and, to the extent not inconsistent with NRS 87.433 , any or all of the partners in the same action or in separate actions. 3. A judgment against a partnership is not by itself a judgment against a partner. A judgment against a partnership may not be satisfied from a partners assets unless there is also a judgment against the partner. 4. A judgment creditor of a partner may not levy execution against the assets of the partner to satisfy a judgment based on a claim against the partnership unless the partner is personally liable for the claim under NRS 87.433 and: (a) A judgment based on the same claim has been obtained against the partnership and a writ of execution on the judgment has been returned unsatisfied in whole or in part; (b) The partnership is a debtor in bankruptcy; (c) The partner has agreed that the creditor need not exhaust partnership assets; (d) A court grants permission to the judgment creditor to levy execution against the assets of a partner based on a finding that partnership assets subject to execution are clearly insufficient to satisfy the judgment, that exhaustion of partnership assets is excessively burdensome or that the grant of permission is an appropriate exercise of the courts equitable powers; or (e) Liability is imposed on the partner by law or contract independent of the existence of the partnership. 5. This section applies to any partnership liability or obligation resulting from a representation by a partner or purported partner under NRS 87.4332 .

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4332 Liability of purported partner.

1. If a person, by words or conduct, purports to be a partner, or consents to being represented by another as a partner, in a partnership or with one or more persons not partners, the purported partner is liable to a person to whom the representation is made, if that person, relying on the representation, enters into a transaction with the actual or purported partnership. If the representation, either by the purported partner or by a person with the purported partners consent, is made in a public manner, the purported partner is liable to a person who relies upon the purported partnership even if the purported partner is not aware of being held out as a partner to the claimant. If partnership liability results, the purported partner is liable with respect to that liability as if the purported partner were a partner. If no partnership liability results, the purported partner is liable with respect to that liability jointly and severally with any other person consenting to the representation. 2. If a person is thus represented to be a partner in an existing partnership, or with one or more persons not partners, the purported partner is an agent of persons consenting to the representation to bind them to the same extent and in the same manner as if the purported partner were a partner, with respect to persons who enter into transactions in reliance upon the representation. If all of the partners of the existing partnership consent to the representation, a partnership act or obligation results. If fewer than all of the partners of the existing partnership consent to the representation, the person acting and the partners consenting to the representation are jointly and severally liable. 3. A person is not liable as a partner merely because the person is named by another in a statement of partnership authority. 4. A person does not continue to be liable as a partner merely because of a failure to file a statement of dissociation or to amend a statement of partnership authority to indicate the partners dissociation from the partnership. 5. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 1 and 2, persons who are not partners as to each other are not liable as partners to other persons. 6. Subsections 1 and 2 do not apply to any person who, by words spoken or written or conduct, announces an association of persons for the sole purpose of a business development, regardless of whether such an announcement uses, or the association of persons is described by, the terms partnering or joint venturing or any other similar term, so long as the business development is undertaken by one or more corporations or limited-liability companies.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4333 Rights and duties of partner.

1. Each partner is deemed to have an account that is: (a) Credited with an amount equal to the money plus the value of any other property, net of the amount of any liabilities, the partner contributes to the partnership and the partners share of the partnership profits; and (b) Charged with an amount equal to the money plus the value of any other property, net of the amount of any liabilities, distributed by the partnership to the partner and the partners share of the partnership losses. 2. Each partner is entitled to an equal share of the partnership profits and is chargeable with a share of the partnership losses in proportion to the partners share of the profits. 3. A partnership shall reimburse a partner for payments made and indemnify a partner for liabilities incurred by the partner in the ordinary course of the business of the partnership or for the preservation of its business or property. 4. A partnership shall reimburse a partner for an advance to the partnership beyond the amount of capital the partner agreed to contribute. 5. A payment or advance made by a partner which gives rise to a partnership obligation under subsection 3 or 4 constitutes a loan to the partnership which accrues interest from the date of the payment or advance. 6. Each partner has equal rights in the management and conduct of the partnership business. 7. A partner may use or possess partnership property only on behalf of the partnership. 8. A partner is not entitled to remuneration for services performed for the partnership, except for reasonable compensation for services rendered in winding up the business of the partnership. 9. A person may become a partner only with the consent of all of the partners. 10. A difference arising as to a matter in the ordinary course of business of a partnership may be decided by a majority of the partners. An act outside the ordinary course of business of a partnership and an amendment to the partnership agreement may be undertaken only with the consent of all of the partners. 11. This section does not affect the obligations of a partnership to other persons under NRS 87.4325 .

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4334 Distributions in kind.

A partner has no right to receive, and may not be required to accept, a distribution in kind.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4335 Rights and duties of partner with respect to information.

1. A partnership shall keep its books and records, if any, at its chief executive office. 2. A partnership shall provide partners and their agents and attorneys access to its books and records. It shall provide former partners and their agents and attorneys access to books and records pertaining to the period during which they were partners. The right of access provides the opportunity to inspect and copy books and records during ordinary business hours. A partnership may impose a reasonable charge, covering the costs of labor and material, for copies of documents furnished. 3. Each partner and the partnership shall furnish to a partner, and to the legal representative of a deceased partner or partner under legal disability: (a) Without demand, any information concerning the partnerships business and affairs reasonably required for the proper exercise of the partners rights and duties under the partnership agreement or NRS 87.4301 to 87.4357 , inclusive; and (b) On demand, any other information concerning the partnerships business and affairs, except to the extent the demand or the information demanded is unreasonable or otherwise improper under the circumstances.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4336 Conduct of partner: General standards.

1. The only fiduciary duties a partner owes to the partnership and the other partners are the duty of loyalty and the duty of care set forth in subsections 2 and 3. 2. A partners duty of loyalty to the partnership and the other partners is limited to the following: (a) To account to the partnership and hold as trustee for it any property, profit or benefit derived by the partner in the conduct and winding up of the partnership business or derived from a use by the partner of partnership property, including the appropriation of a partnership opportunity; (b) To refrain from dealing with the partnership in the conduct or winding up of the partnership business as or on behalf of a party having an interest adverse to the partnership; and (c) To refrain from competing with the partnership in the conduct of the partnership business before the dissolution of the partnership. 3. A partners duty of care to the partnership and the other partners in the conduct and winding up of the partnership business is limited to refraining from engaging in grossly negligent or reckless conduct, intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. 4. A partner shall discharge the duties to the partnership and the other partners under NRS 87.4301 to 87.4357 , inclusive, or under the partnership agreement and exercise any rights consistently with the obligation of good faith and fair dealing. 5. A partner does not violate a duty or obligation under NRS 87.4301 to 87.4357 , inclusive, or under the partnership agreement merely because the partners conduct furthers the partners own interest. 6. A partner may lend money to and transact other business with the partnership, and as to each loan or transaction the rights and obligations of the partner are the same as those of a person who is not a partner, subject to other applicable law. 7. This section applies to a person winding up the partnership business as the personal or legal representative of the last surviving partner as if the person were a partner.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4337 Actions by partnership and partners.

1. A partnership may maintain an action against a partner for a breach of the partnership agreement, or for the violation of a duty to the partnership, causing harm to the partnership. 2. A partner may maintain an action against the partnership or another partner for legal or equitable relief, with or without an accounting as to partnership business, to: (a) Enforce the partners rights under the partnership agreement; (b) Enforce the partners rights under NRS 87.4301 to 87.4357 , inclusive, including: (1) The partners rights under NRS 87.4333 , 87.4335 or 87.4336 ; (2) The partners right on dissociation to have the partners interest in the partnership purchased pursuant to NRS 87.4346 or enforce any other right under NRS 87.4343 to 87.435 , inclusive; or (3) The partners right to compel a dissolution and winding up of the partnership business under NRS 87.4351 or enforce any other right under NRS 87.4351 to 87.4357 , inclusive; or (c) Enforce the rights and otherwise protect the interests of the partner, including rights and interests arising independently of the partnership relationship. 3. The accrual of, and any time limitation on, a right of action for a remedy under this section is governed by other law. A right to an accounting upon a dissolution and winding up does not revive a claim barred by law.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4338 Continuation of partnership beyond definite term or particular undertaking.

1. If a partnership for a definite term or particular undertaking is continued, without an express agreement, after the expiration of the term or completion of the undertaking, the rights and duties of the partners remain the same as they were at the expiration or completion, so far as is consistent with a partnership at will. 2. If the partners, or those of them who habitually acted in the business during the term or undertaking, continue the business without any settlement or liquidation of the partnership, they are presumed to have agreed that the partnership will continue.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4339 Partner not co-owner of partnership property.

A partner is not a co-owner of partnership property and has no interest in partnership property which can be transferred, either voluntarily or involuntarily.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4341 Transfer of transferable interest of partner.

1. A transfer, in whole or in part, of a partners transferable interest in the partnership: (a) Is permissible; (b) Does not by itself cause the partners dissociation or a dissolution and winding up of the partnership business; and (c) Does not, as against the other partners or the partnership, entitle the transferee, during the continuance of the partnership, to participate in the management or conduct of the partnership business, to require access to information concerning partnership transactions or to inspect or copy the partnership books or records. 2. A transferee of a partners transferable interest in the partnership has a right: (a) To receive, in accordance with the transfer, distributions to which the transferor would otherwise be entitled; (b) To receive upon the dissolution and winding up of the partnership business, in accordance with the transfer, the net amount otherwise distributable to the transferor; and (c) To seek under subsection 6 of NRS 87.4351 a judicial determination that it is equitable to wind up the partnership business. 3. In a dissolution and winding up, a transferee is entitled to an account of partnership transactions only from the date of the latest account agreed to by all of the partners. 4. Upon transfer, the transferor retains the rights and duties of a partner other than the interest in distributions transferred. 5. A partnership need not give effect to a transferees rights under this section until it has notice of the transfer. 6. A transfer of a partners transferable interest in the partnership in violation of a restriction on transfer contained in the partnership agreement is ineffective as to a person having notice of the restriction at the time of transfer.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4342 Transferable interest of partner subject to charging order.

1. On application by a judgment creditor of a partner or of a partners transferee, a court having jurisdiction may charge the transferable interest of the judgment debtor to satisfy the judgment. The court may appoint a receiver of the share of the distributions due or to become due to the judgment debtor in respect of the partnership and make all other orders, directions, accounts and inquiries the judgment debtor might have made or which the circumstances of the case may require. 2. A charging order constitutes a lien on the judgment debtors transferable interest in the partnership. The court may order a foreclosure of the interest subject to the charging order at any time. The purchaser at the foreclosure sale has the rights of a transferee. 3. At any time before foreclosure, an interest charged may be redeemed: (a) By the judgment debtor; (b) With property other than partnership property, by one or more of the other partners; or (c) With partnership property, by one or more of the other partners with the consent of all of the partners whose interests are not so charged. 4. NRS 87.4301 to 87.4357 , inclusive, does not deprive a partner of a right under exemption laws with respect to the partners interest in the partnership. 5. This section provides the exclusive remedy by which a judgment creditor of a partner or partners transferee may satisfy a judgment out of the judgment debtors transferable interest in the partnership.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4343 Events causing dissociation.

A partner is dissociated from a partnership upon the occurrence of any of the following events: 1. The partnerships having notice of the partners express will to withdraw as a partner or on a later date specified by the partner; 2. An event agreed to in the partnership agreement as causing the partners dissociation; 3. The partners expulsion pursuant to the partnership agreement; 4.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4344 Power of partner to dissociate; wrongful dissociation.

1. A partner has the power to dissociate at any time, rightfully or wrongfully, by express will pursuant to subsection 1 of NRS 87.4343 . 2. A partners dissociation is wrongful only if: (a) It is in breach of an express provision of the partnership agreement; or (b) In the case of a partnership for a definite term or particular undertaking, before the expiration of the term or the completion of the undertaking: (1) The partner withdraws by express will, unless the withdrawal follows within 90 days after another partners dissociation by death or otherwise under subsections 6 to 10, inclusive, of NRS 87.4343 or wrongful dissociation under this subsection; (2) The partner is expelled by judicial determination under subsection 5 of NRS 87.4343 ; (3) The partner is dissociated by becoming a debtor in bankruptcy; or (4) In the case of a partner who is not a natural person, a trust other than a business trust or an estate, the partner is expelled or otherwise dissociated because it willfully dissolved or terminated. 3.

The liability is in addition to any other obligation of the partner to the partnership or to the other partners.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4345 Effect of dissociation.

1. If a partners dissociation results in a dissolution and winding up of the partnership business, the provisions of NRS 87.4351 to 87.4357 , inclusive, apply. If a partners dissociation does not result in a dissolution and winding up of the partnership business, the provisions of NRS 87.4346 to 87.435 , inclusive, apply. 2. Upon a partners dissociation: (a) The partners right to participate in the management and conduct of the partnership business terminates, except as otherwise provided in NRS 87.4353 ; (b) The partners duty of loyalty under paragraph (c) of subsection 2 of NRS 87.4336 terminates; and (c) The partners duty of loyalty under paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection 2 of NRS 87.4336 and duty of care under subsection 3 of NRS 87.4336 continue only with regard to matters arising and events occurring before the partners dissociation, unless the partner participates in winding up the partnerships business pursuant to NRS 87.4353 .

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4346 Purchase of dissociated partners interest.

1. If a partner is dissociated from a partnership without resulting in a dissolution and winding up of the partnership business under NRS 87.4351 , the partnership shall cause the dissociated partners interest in the partnership to be purchased for a buyout price determined pursuant to subsection 2. 2. The buyout price of a dissociated partners interest is the amount that would have been distributable to the dissociating partner under subsection 2 of NRS 87.4357 if, on the date of dissociation, the assets of the partnership were sold at a price equal to the greater of the liquidation value or the value based on a sale of the entire business as a going concern without the dissociated partner and the partnership were wound up as of that date. Interest must be paid from the date of dissociation to the date of payment. 3. Damages for wrongful dissociation under subsection 2 of NRS 87.4344 , and all other amounts owing, whether or not presently due, from the dissociated partner to the partnership, must be offset against the buyout price. Interest must be paid from the date the amount owed becomes due to the date of payment. 4. A partnership shall indemnify a dissociated partner whose interest is being purchased against all partnership liabilities, whether incurred before or after the dissociation, except liabilities incurred by an act of the dissociated partner under NRS 87.4347 . 5. If no agreement for the purchase of a dissociated partners interest is reached within 120 days after a written demand for payment, the partnership shall pay, or cause to be paid, in cash to the dissociated partner the amount the partnership estimates to be the buyout price and accrued interest, reduced by any offsets and accrued interest under subsection 3. 6. If a deferred payment is authorized under subsection 8, the partnership may tender a written offer to pay the amount it estimates to be the buyout price and accrued interest, reduced by any offsets under subsection 3, stating the time of payment, the amount and type of security for payment and the other terms and conditions of the obligation. 7. The payment or tender required by subsection 5 or 6 must be accompanied by the following: (a) A statement of partnership assets and liabilities as of the date of dissociation; (b) The latest available partnership balance sheet and income statement, if any; (c) An explanation of how the estimated amount of the payment was calculated; and (d) Written notice that the payment is in full satisfaction of the obligation to purchase unless, within 120 days after the written notice, the dissociated partner commences an action to determine the buyout price, any offsets under subsection 3 or other terms of the obligation to purchase. 8. A partner who wrongfully dissociates before the expiration of a definite term or the completion of a particular undertaking is not entitled to payment of any portion of the buyout price until the expiration of the term or completion of the undertaking, unless the partner establishes to the satisfaction of the court that earlier payment will not cause undue hardship to the business of the partnership. A deferred payment must be adequately secured and bear interest. 9. A dissociated partner may maintain an action against the partnership, pursuant to subparagraph (2) of paragraph (b) of subsection 2 of NRS 87.4337 , to determine the buyout price of that partners interest, any offsets under subsection 3 or other terms of the obligation to purchase. The action must be commenced within 120 days after the partnership has tendered payment or an offer to pay or within 1 year after written demand for payment if no payment or offer to pay is tendered. The court shall determine the buyout price of the dissociated partners interest, any offset due under subsection 3 and accrued interest, and enter judgment for any additional payment or refund. If deferred payment is authorized under subsection 8, the court shall also determine the security for payment and other terms of the obligation to purchase. The court may assess reasonable attorneys fees and the fees and expenses of appraisers or other experts for a party to the action, in amounts the court finds equitable, against a party that the court finds acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith. The finding may be based on the partnerships failure to tender payment or an offer to pay or to comply with subsection 7.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4347 Power of dissociated partner to bind; liability to partnership.

1. For 2 years after a partner dissociates without resulting in a dissolution and winding up of the partnership business, the partnership is bound by an act of the dissociated partner which would have bound the partnership under NRS 87.4325 before dissociation only if at the time of entering into the transaction the other party: (a) Reasonably believed that the dissociated partner was then a partner; (b) Did not have notice of the partners dissociation; and (c) Is not deemed to have had knowledge under subsection 5 of NRS 87.4327 or notice under subsection 3 of NRS 87.4349 . 2. A dissociated partner is liable to the partnership for any damage caused to the partnership arising from an obligation incurred by the dissociated partner after dissociation for which the partnership is liable under subsection 1.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4348 Liability of dissociated partner to other persons.

1. A partners dissociation does not of itself discharge the partners liability for a partnership obligation incurred before dissociation. A dissociated partner is not liable for a partnership obligation incurred after dissociation, except as otherwise provided in subsection 2. 2. A partner who dissociates without resulting in a dissolution and winding up of the partnership business is liable as a partner to the other party in a transaction entered into by the partnership, within 2 years after the partners dissociation, only if the partner is liable for the obligation under NRS 87.433 and at the time of entering into the transaction the other party: (a) Reasonably believed that the dissociated partner was then a partner; (b) Did not have notice of the partners dissociation; and (c) Is not deemed to have had knowledge under subsection 5 of NRS 87.4327 or notice under subsection 3 of NRS 87.4349 . 3. By agreement with the partnership creditor and the partners continuing the business, a dissociated partner may be released from liability for a partnership obligation. 4. A dissociated partner is released from liability for a partnership obligation if a partnership creditor, with notice of the partners dissociation but without the partners consent, agrees to a material alteration in the nature or time of payment of a partnership obligation.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4349 Statement of dissociation.

1. A dissociated partner or the partnership may file a statement of dissociation stating the name of the partnership and that the partner is dissociated from the partnership. 2. A statement of dissociation is a limitation on the authority of a dissociated partner for the purposes of subsections 4 and 5 of NRS 87.4327 . 3. For the purposes of paragraph (c) of subsection 1 of NRS 87.4347 and paragraph (c) of subsection 2 of NRS 87.4348 , a person not a partner is deemed to have notice of the dissociation 90 days after the statement of dissociation is filed.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 87.4351 Events causing dissolution and winding up of partnership business.

A partnership is dissolved, and its business must be wound up, only upon the occurrence of any of the following events: 1. In a partnership at will, the partnerships having notice from a partner, other than a partner who is dissociated under subsections 2 to 10, inclusive, of NRS 87.4343 , of that partners express will to withdraw as a partner, or on a later date specified by the partner; 2.
