Disadvantage of the Family Limited Partnership

Limited partners have liability only for the amount of money or property that they contributed to the FLP while general partners have unlimited liability. For this reason, the general partner may choose to act through a limited liability company. Since the assets held by the FLP are generally safe assets, general partner liability is a risk that is not pronounced.
