(a) Effects on partnership.--If a person's dissociation results in a dissolution and winding up of the partnership business, Subchapter H (relating to dissolution and winding up) applies; otherwise, Subchapter G (relating to dissociation as partner if business not wound up) applies.
(b) Effects on person dissociated as partner.--If a person is dissociated as a partner:
(1) The person's right to participate in the management and conduct of the partnership's business terminates, except as provided under section 8482(c) (relating to winding up and filing of certificates).
(2) The person's duties and obligations under section 8447 (relating to standards of conduct for partners) end with regard to matters arising and events occurring after the person's dissociation, except to the extent the partner participates in winding up the partnership's business under section 8482.
(3) Any transferable interest owned by the person in the person's capacity as a general partner immediately before dissociation that is not subsequently purchased from the person or canceled or exchanged in a transaction under Chapter 3 (relating to entity transactions) is owned by the person solely as a transferee.
(c) Existing obligations not discharged.--A person's dissociation does not of itself discharge the person from any debt, obligation or other liability to the partnership or the other partners which the person incurred while a partner.
