After payment of debts and repayment of the share capital, the assets are divided between the partners in the same proportions as their share in the profits, unless otherwise agreed or stipulated.
The rules concerning the division of estates, including preferential allotment, apply to divisions between partners.
However, the partners may validly decide, either in the articles of association or by a separate decision or deed, that certain assets are to be allotted to certain partners. Failing this, any property contributed which is included in kind in the shared assets is allocated, at the request of the shareholder, to the shareholder who made the contribution, subject to a balancing payment if applicable. This option is exercised before any other right to a preferential allocation.
All or some of the partners may also remain in joint ownership of all or part of the corporate assets. Their relations are then governed, at the close of the liquidation, as regards these assets, by the provisions relating to indivision.
