Share of Deceased Partner - Generally, a deceased partner's share in assets, including goodwill, does not automatically pass to legal heirs unless explicitly stated. The share of goodwill is considered an asset of the firm and is includible in the estate valuation, but its transfer depends on specific legal provisions. The estate of a deceased partner may be entitled to a share in profits attributable to the use of the deceased partner's share, but the actual transfer of goodwill or assets is subject to valuation and legal considerations.

Its valuation is crucial for estate duty assessments, and whether it passes on depends on the context and legal framework.
