Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 42:3-11

  • Bankruptcy: Refers to statutes and judicial proceedings involving persons or businesses that cannot pay their debts and seek the assistance of the court in getting a fresh start. Under the protection of the bankruptcy court, debtors may discharge their debts, perhaps by paying a portion of each debt. Bankruptcy judges preside over these proceedings.
  • Decedent: A deceased person.
  • 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.
42:3-11. Interests in a limited partnership association shall be personal estate, and may be transferred under such rules and regulations as the association may prescribe. No transferee of any interest, or the representative of any decedent member or of any insolvent member shall be entitled thereafter to any participation in the subsequent business of the association, unless he be elected thereto by a vote of the majority of the members in number and value of their interests. Any change of ownership in the property of the association, whether by sale, death, bankruptcy or otherwise, which shall not be followed by election to the association, shall entitle the owner only to his interest in the association at a price and upon terms to be mutually agreed upon, and in default of such agreement the price and terms shall be fixed by an appraiser appointed by the Superior Court subject to the approval of the court.
