To incorporate a Limited Liability Partnership, the basic requirement is two members who can act as partners and designated partners of Limited Liability Partnership. It is necessary for any individual to become a partner or designated partner to be fit in to the eligibility criteria of becoming a partner of an LLP. In this article we will discuss about the provisions regarding a Designated Partner who is found to be of unsound mind.
A limited Liability Partnership means a business where a minimum of two members are required and there is no limit on the maximum number of members. The liability of the members of an LLP is limited.
Designated Partners are similar to the Directors of a Private Limited Company. However, the Partner in an LLP when compared to the Director of a Company, enjoy more rights and privileges.
➤ He is found to be of unsound mind;
➤ An undischarged insolvent; or
➤ He has applied to be adjudicated as an insolvent and his application is pending.
Hence, to avoid striking off of LLP, the surviving partner shall appoint another Designated Partner within the 6 months. The LLP needs to file LLP Form 4 for the appointment of the new designated partner within the 30 days of such appointment along with the amended LLP Agreement in LLP Form 3.
