Legal Question in Business Law in New York

Corporation

My children are partners in a store, and because of difficulties asked to be bought out. The other partners drew up a document the same day, signed it and advised my children they were not allowed back on the property. What are my children's legal rights, and what steps should they take to have a clean break. Also, one of the stipulations in the original contract was that only one partner at a time could leave, and the others must wait 6 months. They took it upon themselves to have both of them leave. Is there someway to compensate as far as salaries, before the buy-out (supposedly will take 10 days). Also, what are their rights.

Re: Corporation

You cannot have "artners"in a corporation; there should be shareholder. Regardless, the written agreement is should usually be controlling. I do a substantial amount of business practice in the mid-Hudson area and without the document itself to look at and review, any advise would serve you poorly.

Feel free to contact this office for a free quick phone consult.

Good Luck
