Dissolved partnerships

Official statutory text

(a) A partnership may sue and be sued in its firm name, and

after a partnership has been dissolved, actions may be brought by

and against the partnership in its firm name to enforce obligations

that arose before the dissolution, the partnership being deemed to

continue for the purpose of the suit. Where the dissolution is

caused by the death of a partner, an action to enforce an obligation

that arose before the dissolution may be brought by or against the

partnership in its firm name, or by or against the surviving

partners, or by or against the surviving partners and the estate of

the deceased partner, if an action is brought against the

partnership in its firm name, the estate of the deceased partner may

be made a party to the action by being properly served with process.

(b) When a partner dies after suit is brought by or against a

partnership, the action will not abate, whether it is brought by or

against the partnership in its firm name or in the names of the

partners and it shall not be necessary to make the representative of

the deceased partner a party to the action although he may be

substituted for the decedent if the decedent was named as a party

plaintiff or was served with process, but judgment may not be

enforced against the decedent's estate if the partner dies before

the verdict was rendered and the decedent's representative was not

made a party to the action.

(c) When a partner dies after judgment has been rendered in

favor of or against the partnership of which the decedent was a

member, the judgment may be enforced in favor of or against the

partnership and against the estate of the deceased partner although

the estate of the deceased partner is not made a party to the

judgment.
