(1) A partnership is an entity distinct from its partners.

Terms Used In Nebraska Statutes 67-409

  • Partnership: A voluntary contract between two or more persons to pool some or all of their assets into a business, with the agreement that there will be a proportional sharing of profits and losses.
  • Person: shall include bodies politic and corporate, societies, communities, the public generally, individuals, partnerships, limited liability companies, joint-stock companies, and associations. See Nebraska Statutes 49-801

(2) A limited liability partnership is a syndicate for purposes of Article XII, section 8, of the Constitution of Nebraska, except that a registered limited liability partnership in which the partners are members of a family, or a trust created for the benefit of a member of that family, related to one another within the fourth degree of kindred according to the rules of civil law, or their spouses, at least one of whom is a person residing on or actively engaged in the day-to-day labor and management of the farm or ranch and none of whom are nonresident aliens, is not a syndicate for purposes of Article XII, section 8, of the Constitution of Nebraska. A limited liability partnership continues to be the same entity that existed before the filing of a statement of qualification under section 67-454.
