Utah Code § 16-18-803 (eff. 10/1/2026)

16-18-803. Liability of person dissociated as partner to other persons.

(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, the person is not liable for a partnership obligation incurred after dissociation. (2)

(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 partner would be liable on the transaction; and at the time the other party enters into the transaction: less than two years has passed since the dissociation; and 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.
