Letter and record for adding or retiring an LLP partner

What do we need on file when a partner joins or leaves our LLP?

Fill in your details for a free Word and PDF copy

Section 25(2)(a) of the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 has the LLP file a notice of a change in its partners within thirty days from the date the person becomes or ceases to be a partner. Rule 22(2) of the LLP Rules sets Form 4 for that notice.

The first document below is the partner's written consent when someone joins and written confirmation when someone leaves. The pack does not say the law requires it; it is a record for the LLP file. The second is the LLP record of the change, with the thirty-day filing date worked out from the day the change took effect.

Choose admission or cessation, enter the change date, and you see the documents before you download them as Word or PDF. The pack does not file Form 4. A change in a partner name or address is a separate item under section 25(2)(b) and is not covered here.

Common questions

How long does the LLP have to file the change?

Section 25(2)(a) of the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 says within thirty days from the date the person becomes or ceases to be a partner. The record in this pack prints that date from the change date you enter.

Does the partner have to write a letter?

This pack does not say so. The letter is the partner's written consent or confirmation, kept with the LLP record.

Which form does the LLP file?

Form 4, under Rule 22(2) of the Limited Liability Partnership Rules, 2009. This pack prepares the letter and the record and leaves the filing to you.

Can I use the documents before the change takes effect?

No. They record a change that has already taken effect, so the form asks for a change date that has passed.
