So, the first thing you'll likely want to do is to dig up the rules for your state.Next, it sounds like the UPA calls for partnerships to be able to "override" the default rules to some degree (again, depending on the state rules), which would likely allow you to define your own dissolution rules, assuming everyone agrees.Personally, if it were me, and if everyone agreed on how they wanted to do things, I would just capture the agreement as part of the partnership or business entity and go from there.
