The Maine Certificate of Limited Partnership is a document that is filed with the Maine Secretary of State in order to form a limited partnership in Maine. A limited partnership is a partnership formed between two or more people, in which at least one partner has limited liability for the debts of the partnership, while the other partner or partners have unlimited liability for the debts of the partnership. The Maine Certificate of Limited Partnership must include the name of the limited partnership, the address of the limited partnership's principal office, the name and address of each general partner, and the names and addresses of each limited partner. The certificate must also include the date the limited partnership was formed, the duration of the partnership, and the purpose of the partnership. The two types of Maine Certificate of Limited Partnership are the Initial Certificate of Limited Partnership, which is filed with the Maine Secretary of State in order to form a limited partnership, and the Amended Certificate of Limited Partnership, which is filed when there is a change in the partners or structure of the partnership.
