That's not required. The requirement is that the obligations be devolved onto at least two parties, who are then known as the members. >Rule 2145/1 (Power=1) Out of date. P5061 amended it to Rule 2145/2 (Power=2) Partnerships A binding agreement governed by the rules which devolves its legal obligations onto a subset of its parties, numbering at least two, collectively, is a partnership. The members of a partnership are those parties onto whom the partnership's legal obligations are collectively devolved. A partnership's identity and partnershiphood are not disrupted by changes to its membership provided that it continues to meet the definition of a partnership. A partnership's basis is the set consisting of the union of the set of its non-partnership members with the bases of each of its partnership members. Where circularity occurs in this definition, it is resolved by using the minimum basis sets that provide consistency. A partnership whose basis contains at least two persons is a person. -zefram
