The dissolution of the partnership shall not of itself discharge the existing liability
of any partner.
A partner shall be discharged from any existing liability upon dissolution of the
partnership by an agreement to that effect between himself, the partnership creditor,
and the person or partnership continuing the business; and the agreement may be
inferred from the course of dealing between the creditor having knowledge of the
dissolution and the person or partnership continuing the business.
If a person agrees to assume the existing obligations of a dissolved partnership, the
partners whose obligations have been assumed shall be discharged from any
liability to any creditor of the partnership who, knowing of the agreement, consents
to a material alteration in the nature or time of payment of the obligations.
The individual property of a deceased partner shall be liable for obligations of the
partnership incurred while he was a partner and for which he was liable under KRS
362.220 but subject to the prior payment of his separate debts.
