Nature of partnership interest

A partnership interest is personal property. A partner has no interest in specific partnership property. (Code 1981, § 14-9-701, enacted by Ga. L. 1988, p. 1016, § 1.) COMMENT Note to Georgia Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act This section provides that a partner’s interest in the partnership is personal property and that a partner has no interest in specific property of the partnership. Prior Georgia Law Sections 14-8-26 and 14-9A-49 provide that a partnership interest is personal property. Comparison With Official RULPA Pursuant to Section 14-8-25, although a general partner owns specific partnership property nominally as a tenant in partnership, the incidents of this tenancy are such that, in effect, the property is owned by the partnership entity rather than by the partners. Section 14-9-701, like Section 17-701 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, Del. Code Ann. tit. 6, Section 17-701 (Supp. 1986) takes this a step further by making it absolutely clear that a partner has no interest in specific property of a limited partnership.
