    Default Left with Tax Debt in Partnership Business

    My question involves business law in the state of:
    Advice will be greatly. Last year I opened a car dealership with my brother.
    Long story short the dealer didn't do so good and now my brother hasn't paid taxes on most of the cars and the yearly business tax. He said nothing is under his name so its not his problem. Now I'm left to deal with the IRS all by myself. Anyone with good advice on what kind of lawyer I can take him to court with or how I can deal with this would be greatly appreciated.

    P.S.
    We both signed an
    agreement stating that
    he would be made resposible
    for all taxes etc. but the agreement
    was not notarized. Does that matter?

    Talk to a business lawyer. Take your document(s) with you to your appointment.

    Ditto. You seriously need a business attorney.

    AND who in their right mind would do an auto sales business as a PARTNERSHIP? That is just insane. So many things can go wrong and there are a bunch of liability possibilities, why would anyone expose themselves and all their assets that way?

    You got some really bad advice. It should have been a corporation.
