Nevada Revised Statutes 87.4348 – Liability of dissociated partner to other persons
1. A partner’s dissociation does not of itself discharge the partner’s liability for a partnership obligation incurred before dissociation. A dissociated partner is not liable for a partnership obligation incurred after dissociation, except as otherwise provided in subsection 2.

2. A partner who dissociates without resulting in a dissolution and winding up of the partnership business is liable as a partner to the other party in a transaction entered into by the partnership, within 2 years after the partner’s dissociation, only if the partner is liable for the obligation under NRS 87.433 and at the time of entering into the transaction the other party:
