Read at publisher ↗
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.
