  2. What is Partnership Insurance? Continuous co-operation of each partner very important in a partnership firm. If a partner dies prematurely the partnership firm may be required to be dissolved.

  3. What is Partnership Insurance? The deceased partner’s legal heirs may ask for their share from surviving partners. In that case the question arises as to how the firm or surviving partners can arrange for purchasing the stake from legal heirs of deceased partner. Partnership insurance can help to avoid such a situation. The firm can purchase insurance under partnership insurance on the lives of all the partners and in the event of premature death of any partner, the firm will receive the insurance proceeds. This fund can be utilized for settling the deceased partner’s share without disturbing the working of the firm.
