When a partner dies, how is the deceased partner’s share of the revaluation profit recorded?

Correct answer: Credited to the deceased partner’s capital or current account

Revaluation profit is distributed among all the old partners, including the deceased partner, in the old profit-sharing ratio. The deceased partner’s share is credited to their capital or current account, increasing the amount payable to the executor as at the date of death. It is not deposited in the bank because it is an accounting adjustment, not a cash receipt. Exam tip: Allocate revaluation profit or loss among the old partners in their old ratio up to the date of death.
