Why is a rule included in the partnership deed specifying how a partner’s account will be settled on his death?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To settle the deceased partner’s account

The deed includes a death-settlement clause to provide a clear procedure for closing and paying the deceased partner’s capital account, settlement of his share of profits, goodwill or interest, and payment to his legal representatives. This prevents disputes and delays. Option C (changing profit-sharing ratio) relates to reconstitution or admission of partners rather than the specific task of settling a deceased partner’s account, so it is incorrect. Exam tip: When you see “settlement on death,” focus on closing and payment to the deceased partner or his heirs, not on increasing partners or changing business lines.
