The Nevada partnership agreement is a legal document that outlines all the rules of the business partnership organization in Nevada.
Although the partnership agreement or partnership deed is not always required in a certain state for business partnership formation, the partners often choose to draft one since federal and state laws don’t provide many detailed provisions on how the business partnership should be operated.
Therefore, the partners often choose to create this kind of document to customize the federal and state laws and provide more details on how their partnership will be organized and operated.
The Nevada partnership agreement is, in practice, also called the “articles of partnership” or the “partnership contract.”
Nevada Partnership Agreement Types
In Nevada, there are several types of partnership agreements that partners can choose from:

Limited Partnership (LP): This is a partnership between the general partners, who have decision-making powers but are fully liable for the partnership operations with all of their personal assets, and the limited partners, who have limited liability for the partnership operation and limited decision-making powers. (NRS 88.010 to NRS 88.415 and NRS 88.420 to NRS 88.440)
