§ 16304 Partner Authority Denial Statement

• •Anyone named as a partner in the official partnership filing can file a denial statement.
• •The denial must list the partnership’s name, its state ID number, and say the person is denying authority or partner status.
• •Filing the denial limits that person’s ability to act for the partnership.

Emily’s name appears on a partnership filing for a bakery, but she never agreed to be a partner. She can file a denial statement saying she isn’t a partner and include the bakery’s name and ID number.

By filing that denial, the state records that Emily can’t make decisions or sign for the bakery, so anyone dealing with the bakery knows she has no authority.
