(1) A person‘s dissociation as a general partner does not of itself discharge the person’s liability as a general partner for a limited partnership‘s obligation incurred before dissociation. Except as otherwise provided in subsections (2) and (3) of this section, the person is not liable for a limited partnership‘s obligation incurred after dissociation.
(2) A person whose dissociation as a general partner resulted in a dissolution and winding up of the limited partnership’s activities is liable to the same extent as a general partner under KRS § 362.2-404 on an obligation incurred by the limited partnership under KRS § 362.2-804.
