Exercise 17
Brothers Max and Robert Coleman were partners in a shipping business named Coleman Properties. After two decades of business, Robert committed suicide. Robert's widow, Debbie, attempted to recover her deceased husband's partnership interest. Debbie demanded that Max wind up the partnership's business and distribute the assets. Instead, Max changed the partnership name and continued to operate the business using partnership assets. Debbie sued Max for the "redemption value" or "buy-out value" of Robert's interest in the partnership. Max argued that Debbie was only a transferee of the partnership interest, not a partner, and was not entitled to the buy-out value of the partnership. Max claimed that Debbie was only entitled to the balance in Robert's capital account at the time of his death. What was Debbie entitled to receive?
