Partnership agreement

Question
What are the basic elements of a partnership agreement? 
Answer
In simple terms, partnership agreements detail responsibilities of the partners, plus show how income, deductions, gains, losses, and credits are to be split (if there are any special allocations to be made) and what happens on the retirement, disability, bankruptcy, or death of a partner.
