Research scope

All 51 US jurisdictions (50 states plus DC). This matrix covers six limited partnership reference fields: governing statute, formation filing, annual report or renewal rule, franchise or entity tax treatment, registered-agent requirement, and limited liability limited partnership availability.

METHOD class and URL rationale

METHOD class: REFERENCE. Consolidates limited partnership formation, annual-report, tax, LLLP availability, registered-agent, and governing-statute facts under one limited-partnership reference surface because these are freshness-sensitive filing and statute facts. The fields belong on one reference URL because they are recurring filing and statute facts, not separate jurisdiction spokes.

LLLP locator

lp.lllp_available is recorded here as the matrix of record. Downstream LP charging-order material should read the value by locator, pp-lp-reference#{state}.lp.lllp_available, rather than copy the cell.

How to read this matrix

Each row is a US jurisdiction. Cell text is the validated display value from the limited-partnership research cell. Hover a cell for source detail; the companion sources.json retains each cell's official source URL, snapshot hash, on-disk snapshot path, pinpoint, and field locator.

Sources

Primary-source citations per cell live in this page's sources.json companion. The full source taxonomy lives at /about/source-registry/.

Frequently asked questions

What does this limited partnership reference matrix cover?

It covers six state-level fields for limited partnerships: the governing statute, formation filing, annual report or renewal rule, franchise or entity tax treatment, registered-agent requirement, and limited liability limited partnership availability.

Why is LLLP availability included here?

LLLP availability is a formation and statute fact, so this reference matrix is the source of record for that field. Downstream asset-protection material should refer back to the locator on this matrix instead of carrying a second version of the same value.

Is this a recommendation about where to form a limited partnership?

No. The matrix reports official filing and statute facts by jurisdiction. It does not weigh personal, tax, estate, or asset-protection outcomes.
