- WHAT HAPPENS IF A PARTNER BECOMES INSOLVENT? In 2010, three dentists-Ben Rogers, Judy Wilkinson, and Henry Walker-formed a partnership to open a practice in Toledo, Ohio. The partnership's primary purpose was to reduce expenses by sharing building and equipment costs, supplies, and the services of a clerical staff. Each contributed $70,000 in cash and, with the help of a bank loan, constructed a building and acquired furniture, fixtures, and equipment.
