A.Dear Client,

In the given situation, apart from the personal will of a deceased partner, a clause specifying the introduction of a legal heir of the deceased partner in the Deed of Partnership, itself makes the wife of the deceased partner eligible for admission or introduction as a partner of the partnership business and other partners being signatories of the said Deed of Partnership got no right to object admission of the wife of a deceased partner as a partner in the existing Partnership firm. If the partnership firm got registered u/s.58 of the Partnership Act, 1932, then the matter may be placed before the Registrar of Firms. Societies and Non-Trading Corporation appointed u/s.57 of the Act by the State Govt. for a resolution in the matter. But in all fairness, by virtue of specific stipulation specifying the introduction of a legal heir of the deceased partner in the Deed of Partnership, the wife of the deceased partner is eligible and entitled for admission or introduction as a partner with the allocated share in the partnership business bereft of any merit in the objection of the existing partners even in case the claim is litigated by the claimant partner before the Court.
