    partnership

    Hi Everyone

    I have some properties in HK. A close friend have asked me to go into a partnership with her. Do I need to get some legal advice from a lawyer? Her brother is a lawyer and a close friend of hers is her accountant. & they are handling the matter. I think I should get some legal advice on my side. Anybody have any ideas would be most appreciated. Or this is a bad idea and deal from the start.

    How would anyone know how to answer your question. You didn't even mention what kind of partnership?

    Sorry, I am kind of new to this forum. Partnership is I would provide the property and she would provide the funds for building on the property. I am also new to any business venture. So I am kind of lost

    are you taking about your 'ding right' to build rural house, you have land and you have the right to build rural house as your family ancestry is from the same village? where is your village? do you have 3 stars right to abode status? is the land deeds under your name or your parents?

    Generally people form some kind of limited liability company rather than partnership- partnership can make you liable for lots of debts if you are a general partner.

    Take a look here:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partnership_(Hong_Kong)

    You can talk to those companies that set up LLCs and such for some level of advice or pay for an hour consult with an attorney and get your questions answered.

    agreed. If it is a village house, you better be 100% certain that the lawyer knows the Village house rules backwards.
