Code of Alabama - Title 10A: Alabama Business and Nonprofit Entities Code - Section 10A-9A-6.07 - Liability to other persons of person dissociated as general partner

Section 10A-9A-6.07 - Liability to other persons of person dissociated as general partner.

(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 liability of the limited partnership incurred before dissociation. Except as otherwise provided in subsections (b) and (c), the person is not liable for a limited partnership's debts, obligations, or liabilities incurred after dissociation.

(b) A person whose dissociation as a general partner resulted in a dissolution and winding up of the limited partnership's activities and affairs is liable to the same extent as a general partner under Section 10A-9A-4.04 on an obligation incurred by the limited partnership under Section 10A-9A-8.04.

(c) A person that has dissociated as a general partner but whose dissociation did not result 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 the other party does not have 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 an obligation of the limited partnership.

(e) A person dissociated as a general partner is released from liability for a debt, obligation, or liability of the limited partnership if the limited partnership's creditor, with 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 liability.
