Schedule Description

These files document the filing of limited partnerships with the county clerk. A limited partnership is "a partnership formed by two or more persons" under the provisions of UCA 48-2-1, "having as members one or more general partners and one or more limited partners" (UCA 48-2-1 (1993)). Persons desiring to form a limited partnership shall "file for record the certificate in the office of the county clerk of the county in which the principal place of business of the partnership shall be situated" (UCA 48-2-2(1)(b)). These files contain affidavits, agreement and certificate of limited partnership (notarized original) and cancellation of certificate of agreement. The separate index includes date partnership formed, name, and date filed. In 1990,the law was revised and changed the filing requirements to the Utah State Division of Corporations and Commercial Code (Laws of 1990, ch. 233, 71). In 1994, the Utah Revised Uniform Partnership Act (Laws of 1994, ch. 61) totally revised all requirements and repealed all previous provisions. All files held by the individual county clerks were then transferred to the State (see Series 13995 and 13998). These few files were filed with the Incorporation case files (Series 14932) and were then separated.
