The partnership continues despite the death of a limited partner.
If it is stipulated that despite the death of one of the general partners, the partnership continues with his heirs, the latter become limited partners if they are unemancipated minors. If the deceased partner was the sole general partner and if his heirs are all unemancipated minors, he must be replaced by a new general partner or the company must be transformed within one year of the death. Failing this, the partnership will be dissolved ipso jure on expiry of this period.
