Milton, Ava, and Hiro own a candy company. The business is failing and Milton is declared bankrupt by the bankruptcy court. Ava wants to keep the business running because she is sure she can turn it around. Hiro tells her that, it’s too late, the partnership is already over because of Milton. Ava tells him that no one has asked to end the partnership so they do not have to dissolve. The partnership debts include a loan to the bank, loans Ava made to the company, and the initial capital that all three partners invested. Milton has no money to pay any of their debts. Is Ava correct that they do not have to dissolve the partnership?

Jack and Bianca had a partnership running a mortuary. Bianca died, and after her death, Jack decided to shut down the mortuary. Jack incurred some expenses in closing the business affairs of the mortuary. He sought compensation for those expenses but Gus, the executor of Bianca’s estate, objected. Gus also claimed that Jack had no rights in Bianca’s share of the partnership property and that Gus, the executor, had the right to confiscate her share of the property and sell it at auction. Jack, however, took the position that all interests of Bianca passed to Jack and that Jack owed her estate nothing. The articles of partnership did not address death. Is Jack entitled to compensation for closing down the mortuary?
