Partnership pitfall:
In a partnership's Chapter 7 case, the trustee
can sue the general partners of the partnership if the partnership's assets are
insufficient to pay all claims for the amount by which the partnership assets
fall short of partnership debts.
11 U.S.C. 723.
As a result, partners may be facing a suit by a well
funded trustee suing for the benefit of all creditors of the partnership.
