Utah Code § 48-1d-803

Liability of person dissociated as partner to other persons

Known as the Utah Uniform Partnership Act

The act spans §§ 48–48 (133 sections).

Renumbered and Amended by Chapter 93, 2026 General Session; Enacted by Chapter 412, 2013 General Session; End date 10/1/2026

(1) A person's dissociation as a partner does not of itself discharge the person's liability as a partner for a debt, obligation, or other liability of the partnership incurred before dissociation. Except as otherwise provided in Subsection (2), the person is not liable for a partnership obligation incurred after dissociation.

(2) A person that has dissociated as a partner without the dissociation resulting in a dissolution and winding up of the partnership's activities and affairs is liable on a transaction entered into by the partnership after the dissociation only if:

(a) a partner would be liable on the transaction; and

(b) at the time the other party enters into the transaction:

(i) less than two years has passed since the dissociation; and

(ii) the other party does not have knowledge or notice of the dissociation and reasonably believes that the person is a partner.

(3) By agreement with a creditor of a partnership and the partnership, a person dissociated as a partner may be released from liability for an obligation of the partnership.

(4) A person dissociated as a partner is released from liability for an obligation of the partnership if the partnership's creditor, with knowledge or notice of the person's dissociation but without the person's consent, agrees to a material alteration in the nature or time of payment of the obligation.
