§ 61-3-607 — Liability of person dissociated as general partner to other person

(a) A person's dissociation as a general partner does not, of itself, discharge the person's liability as a general partner for a debt, obligation, or other liability of the limited partnership incurred before dissociation. Except as otherwise provided in subsections (b) and (c), the person is not liable for a partnership obligation incurred after dissociation. (b) A person whose dissociation as a general partner results in a dissolution and winding up of the limited partnership's activities and affairs is liable on an obligation incurred by the partnership under § 61-3-805 to the same extent as a general partner under § 61-3-404 . (c) A person that is dissociated as a general partner without the dissociation resulting in a dissolution and winding up of the limited partnership's activities and affairs is liable on a transaction entered into by the limited partnership after the dissociation only if: (1) A general partner would be liable on the transaction; and (2) At the time the other party enters into the transaction: (A) Less than one (1) year has passed since the dissociation; and (B) The other party does not have knowledge or notice of the dissociation and reasonably believes that the person is a general partner. (d) By agreement with a creditor of a limited partnership and the limited partnership, a person dissociated as a general partner may be released from liability for a debt, obligation, or other liability of the partnership. (e) A person dissociated as a general partner is released from liability for a debt, obligation, or other liability of the limited partnership if the partnership's creditor, with knowledge or notice of the person's dissociation as a general partner but without the person's consent, agrees to a material alteration in the nature or time of payment of the debt, obligation, or other liability.
