In a universal partnership of all present property, the property which belongs to each of the partners at the time of the constitution of the partnership, becomes the common property of all the partners, as well as all the profits which they may acquire therewith.

A particular partnership has for its object determinate things, their use or fruits, or specific undertaking, or the exercise of a profession or vocation.
