2017 Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes
Title 15 - CORPORATIONS AND UNINCORPORATED ASSOCIATIONS
Chapter 86 - Limited Partnerships
Section 8667 - Liability of person dissociated as general partner to other persons
(a) General rule.--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 provided in subsections (b) and (c), the person is not liable for a partnership obligation incurred after dissociation.
(b) Obligations incurred after dissolution.--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 section 8685 (relating to general partner liability after dissolution) to the same extent as a general partner under section 8644 (relating to general partner's liability).
(c) When partnership not dissolved.--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 partnership after the dissociation only if a general partner would be liable on the transaction, but at the time the other party enters into the transaction:
(1) less than two years have passed since the dissociation; and
(2) the other party does not have knowledge or notice of the dissociation and reasonably believes that the person is a general partner.
(d) Constructive release by creditor.--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 and without the person's consent, agrees to a material alteration in the nature or time of payment of the debt, obligation or other liability. The release from liability under this subsection applies whether the liability arises directly or indirectly, by way of contribution or otherwise, but only if the liability arises solely by reason of having been a general partner.
