If the original and any other supplementary deed does not provide for continuing on the death of a partner and only one partner is alove, the partnership is deemed to be dissolved
26 July 2025
You're absolutely right. Under the **LLP Act, 2008**, if the **LLP is left with only one partner** (i.e., only one living partner remains after the death of another), and the **LLP Agreement doesn’t contain provisions to continue with a new partner**, then **the LLP is liable to be dissolved** under **Section 6(2)** of the LLP Act.
However, if another partner is admitted within **6 months**, the LLP can be continued.
