Intellegal Wiki · In plain terms
A partnership is void if the partners contribute real property (immovables) to it but fail to prepare an inventory of that property, have the parties sign it, and attach it to the public instrument creating the partnership. This inventory formality is essential whenever land or buildings are put into the partnership.
