Hi Dorothy, if there is no formal partnership agreement, then you are likely to have a general partnership, which can be dissolved by any members at any time. While you won’t need to go through the dissolution of corporation process, you will likely need to file a lawsuit to determine the amount of damages and liability. You will likely have to show that the others violated their duties to the partnership. You may be liable for any of the environmental damages, but may be able to have them indemnify you. I would strongly recommend contacting an attorney to assist you with this process.

Thank You very much. I am an aggrieved member of a partnership.
The GPs did environmental damage on the property we own and
they retaliated by suing us for eviction, and damages, & winning,
when 2 of us went to Cal Fire and the case got taken by the WQMD,
and violations were found.
Your article is very helpful and I am trying to convince my cousin that we don’t need
a lawyer to get the partnership dissolved.
I am looking for the right forms and all.
I have a good appeal on points of law I believe. Hope to file before 90 days is up
from Nov 5. The clerk & her supervisor in MEndo. Sup.Ct have cleared it and say
it is up to the judge to decide if the time was running from the day of the judgement; I was never served w/
a copy of final judgement- the attorney for plaintiffs sent the
writ of possession to us unstamped, unsigned, before the court date.
there were some other irregularities, to put it mildly.
sorry to run on. If you have any hints, I sure would like to dissolve the monstrosity
and do a real business. Native plants, herbs, eco-tourism, donkey & mule rescue habitat,
with 500 acres we could do a lot. My cousins ahve used it as a vacation place, taking tax deductions for 15 yrs as a timber operation and real estate business…they let 4 out of 5 the structures on the property go to rack & ruin. And never once made a filing of any paperwork to the Secý of State’s Office. not even a change of address.
I have made a complaint to the AG.
my cousin characterizes my efforts as herculean, but seems reluctant to go in Propria Per any longer.
I don’t blame him, we have lost so far.
Thank you for your time. Do Lee
