> With regard to SCDP, I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is a partnership is dissolved upon the death of a partner. The Partnership agreement should determine the method of dissolution and how the assets will be divided. Of course, they (the partners) must have put some thought into what would happen as a result of a death to a partner (particularly Cooper). It will be interesting to see what happens.

From a tax standpoint, if partners representing 50% or more of a partnership leave then it is “technically terminated”. Other than that, I’m not aware of any legal termination requirements and it would indeed generally be addressed in the agreement.

On another note, that was a pretty realistic looking hung corpse. Did I notice them “hold there nose” subtly when they first opened the door? A very well done scene IMHO.
