KRS 362.1-703: Dissociated partner's liability to other persons.
Where this section sits in the code
(1) A partner's dissociation does not of itself discharge the partner's liability for a
partnership obligation incurred before dissociation. A dissociated partner is not
liable for a partnership obligation incurred after dissociation, except as otherwise
provided in subsection (2) of this section.
(2) A partner who dissociates without resulting in a dissolution and winding up of the
partnership business is liable as a partner to the other party in a transaction entered
into by the partnership, or a surviving pa rtnership under KRS 362.1 -901 to 362.1 -
908, within two (2) years after the partner's dissociation, only if the partner is liable
for the obligation under KRS 362.1 -306 and at the time of entering into the
transaction the other party:
(a) Reasonably believed that the dissociated partner was then a partner;
(b) Did not have notice of the partner's dissociation; and
(c) Is not deemed to have knowledge under KRS 362.1 -303(5) or notice under
KRS 362.1-704(3).
(3) By agreement with the partnership creditor and the partners continuing the business,
a dissociated partner may be released from liability for a partnership obligation.
(4) A dissociated partner is released from liability for a partnership obligation if a
partnership creditor, with notice of the partner's dissociation but without the
partner's consent, agrees to a material alteration in the nature or time of payment of
a partnership obligation.
