NRS87.360. Effect of dissolution on partner’s existing liability.
-
1. The dissolution of the partnership does not of itself discharge the existing liability of any partner.
2. A partner is discharged from any existing liability upon dissolution of the partnership by an agreement to that effect between the partner, the partnership creditor and the person or partnership continuing the business. Such an 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.
3. Where a person agrees to assume the existing obligations of a dissolved partnership, the partners whose obligations have been assumed are 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 such obligations.
4. The individual property of a deceased partner is liable for all obligations of the partnership incurred while the deceased partner was a partner and for which the deceased partner was liable under NRS 87.150, but is subject to the prior payment of the deceased partner’s separate debts.
