What is the main purpose of adding a deceased partner’s share of goodwill to their account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To fairly compensate the deceased partner for their share

The deceased partner had contributed to the firm’s reputation and earning capacity. Therefore, their share of goodwill is credited to their account so that the partner’s legal representative receives fair compensation. This amount is generally adjusted through the capital or current accounts of the continuing partners in their gaining ratio. Exam tip: In retirement or death adjustments, goodwill compensates the outgoing partner for their share in the firm’s goodwill.
