§ 12-1082. Dissolved partnerships
(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.
