HRS §425E-605

What happens when a general partner leaves

When a general partner leaves, they lose management rights and some duties end, but they still owe for past actions and can file a statement about leaving. They also must sign an amendment if asked, and their ownership interest becomes that of a transferee.

The statute, as written — Effect of dissociation as a general partner

(a) Upon a person's dissociation as a general partner: (1) The person's right to participate as a general partner in the management and conduct of the partnership's activities terminates; (2) The person's duty of loyalty as a general partner under section 425E-408(b)(3) terminates; (3) The person's duty of loyalty as a general partner under section 425E-408(b)(1) and (2) and duty of care under section 425E-408(c) continue only with regard to matters arising and events occurring before the person's dissociation as a general partner; (4) The person may sign and deliver to the director for filing a statement of dissociation pertaining to the person and, at the request of the limited partnership, shall sign an amendment to the certificate of limited partnership which states that the person has dissociated; and (5) Subject to section 425E-704 and article 11, any transferable interest owned by the person immediately before dissociation in the person's capacity as a general partner is owned by the person as a mere transferee. (b) A person's dissociation as a general partner shall not of itself discharge the person from any obligation to the limited partnership or the other partners which the person incurred while a general partner.
