What to Focus On

  • Death dissolves the partnership but not the firm.
  • Accounts are adjusted in the same manner as on retirement.
  • The main extra task is calculating profit or loss up to the date of death.
  • Profit up to death may be estimated by time basis or turnover basis.
  • Time basis may use last year’s profit or average profit.
  • In the absence of an agreement, profits are shared equally.
  • Time basis assumes profit is earned evenly during the year.
  • Average profit is total profits divided by number of years.
  • Weighted average profit uses profits and weights.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Death of a partner dissolves the firm itself, so all accounts must be closed completely.

The deceased partner's share of profit is always calculated using the old profit sharing ratio.

Profit for the deceased partner must be found only by preparing full final accounts up to the date of death.
