Partnership Dissolution Agreement
A partnership dissolution agreement is a contract that sets the process and terms for ending a partnership, dividing assets and liabilities, and releasing partners from ongoing joint duties. Use this when co-owners of a partnership or small firm agree to shut down or split without litigation. It assigns accounts, pays creditors, and releases each partner from future partnership obligations.
