(d) Property acquired in the name of one (1) or more of the partners, without an indication in the instrument transferring title to the property of the person's capacity as a partner or of the existence of a partnership and without use of partnership assets, is presumed to be separate property even if used for partnership purposes.

(iii) A partnership may recover property transferred under this subsection if it proves that execution of the instrument of transfer did not bind the partnership under W.S. 17-21-301, unless the property was transferred by the initial transferee or a person claiming through the initial transferee to a subsequent transferee who gave value without having notice that the person who executed the instrument of initial transfer lacked authority to bind the partnership.
(b) Partnership property held in the name of one (1) or more persons other than the partnership, without an indication in the instrument transferring the property to them of their capacity as partners or of the existence of a partnership, may be transferred free of any claims of the partnership or the partners by the persons in whose name the property is held to a transferee who gives value without having notice that it is partnership property.
(c) If a person holds all of the partners' interests in the partnership, all of the partnership property vests in that person. That person may execute documents in the name of the partnership to evidence vesting of the property in that person and may file or record those documents.

(e) This section applies to any partnership liability or obligation resulting from a representation by a partner or purported partner under W.S. 17-21-308(a) or (b).

(i) If that person, relying on the representation, enters into a transaction with the actual or purported partnership; and
(ii) If the purported partner would have been personally liable for obligations of the partnership under W.S. 17-21-306 if he actually had been a partner.
(b) Subject to subsection (a) of this section if the representation, either by the purported partner or by a person with the purported partner's consent, is made in a public manner, the purported partner is liable to a person who relies upon the purported partnership even if the purported partner is not aware of being held out as a partner to the claimant. If partnership liability results, the purported partner is liable as if the purported partner were a partner. If no partnership liability results, the purported partner is liable jointly and severally with any other person consenting to the representation.
(c) If a person is thus represented to be a partner in an existing partnership or with one (1) or more persons not partners, the purported partner is an agent of persons consenting to the representation to bind them to the same extent and in the same manner as if the purported partner were a partner, with respect to persons who enter into transactions in reliance upon the representation. If all the partners of the existing partnership consent to the representation, a partnership act or obligation results. If fewer than all the partners of the existing partnership consent to the representation, the person acting and the partners consenting to the representation are jointly and severally liable as provided in W.S. 17-21-306 as if the person actually had been a partner.
(d) A person is not a partner in a partnership solely because the person is named by another in a statement of partnership authority.
(e) A person does not continue to be a partner solely because of a failure to file a statement of dissociation or to amend a statement of partnership authority to indicate the partner's dissociation from the partnership.

(a) The only fiduciary duties a partner owes to the partnership and the other partners are the duty of loyalty and the duty of care set forth in this section.
(b) A partner's duty of loyalty to the partnership and the other partners is limited to the following:
(i) To account to the partnership and hold as trustee for it any property, profit or benefit derived by the partner, without the consent of the other partners, in the conduct and winding up of the partnership business or from a use or appropriation by the partner of partnership property or opportunity;
(ii) To refrain from dealing with the partnership in the conduct or winding up of the partnership business, as or on behalf of a party having an interest adverse to the partnership without the consent of the other partners; and
(iii) To refrain from competing with the partnership in the conduct of the partnership business without the consent of the other partners before the dissolution of the partnership.
(c) A partner's duty of loyalty may not be eliminated by agreement, but the partners may by agreement identify specific types or categories of activities that do not violate the duty of loyalty, if not manifestly unreasonable.
(d) A partner's duty of care to the partnership and the other partners in the conduct and winding up of the partnership business is limited to refraining from engaging in grossly negligent or reckless conduct, intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law.
(e) A partner shall discharge the duties to the partnership and the other partners under this chapter or under the partnership agreement, and exercise any rights, consistent with the obligation of good faith and fair dealing. The obligation of good faith and fair dealing may not be eliminated by agreement but the partners may by agreement determine the standards by which the performance of the obligation is to be measured, if the standards are not manifestly unreasonable.
(f) A partner does not violate a duty or obligation under this chapter or under the partnership agreement merely because the partner's conduct furthers the partner's own interest. A partner may lend money to and transact other business with the partnership. The rights and obligations of a partner who lends money to or transacts business with the partnership are the same as those of a person who is not a partner, subject to other applicable law.
(g) This section applies to a person winding up the partnership business as the personal or legal representative of the last surviving partner as if the person were a partner.

(a) A transfer, in whole or in part, of a partner's transferable interest in the partnership:
(i) Is permissible;

(b) A transferee of a partner's transferable interest in the partnership is entitled to receive, in accordance with the transfer, distributions to which the transferor would otherwise be entitled. Upon transfer, the transferor retains the rights and duties of a partner other than the interest in distributions transferred.
(c) If an event causes a dissolution and winding up of the partnership business under W.S. 17-21-801, a transferee is entitled to receive, in accordance with the transfer, the net amount otherwise distributable to the transferor. In a dissolution and winding up, a transferee may require an accounting only from the date of the last account agreed to by all of the partners.
(d) Until receipt of notice of a transfer, a partnership has no duty to give effect to the transferee's rights under this section.

(a) On application by a judgment creditor of a partner or partner's transferee, a court having jurisdiction may charge the transferable interest of the debtor partner or transferee to satisfy the judgment. The court may appoint a receiver of the debtor's share of the distributions due or to become due to the debtor in respect of the partnership and make all other orders, directions, accounts and inquiries the debtor might have made or which the circumstances of the case may require.
(b) A charging order constitutes a lien on the judgment debtor's transferable interest in the partnership. The court may order a foreclosure of the interest subject to the charging order at any time and upon conditions it considers appropriate. The purchaser at the foreclosure sale has the rights of a transferee.
(c) At any time before foreclosure, an interest charged may be redeemed:
(i) By the judgment debtor;
(ii) With property other than partnership property by one (1) or more of the other partners; or
(iii) With partnership property by one (1) or more of the other partners with the consent of all the partners whose interests are not so charged.
(d) This chapter does not deprive a partner of a right under exemption laws with respect to the partner's interest in the partnership.
(e) This section provides the exclusive remedy by which a judgment creditor of a partner or partner's transferee may satisfy a judgment out of the judgment debtor's transferable interest in the partnership.

17-21-602. Partner's wrongful dissociation.

(B) The partner is expelled by judicial decree under W.S. 17-21-601; or
(C) In case of a partner who is not an individual, trust other than a business trust or estate, the partner is expelled or otherwise dissociated because it willfully dissolved or terminated.

17-21-702. Dissociated partner's power to bind and liability to partnership.
(a) For two (2) years after a partner dissociates without resulting in a dissolution and winding up of the partnership business, the partnership, including a surviving partnership under article 9 of this chapter, is bound by an act of the dissociated partner that would have bound the partnership under W.S. 17-21-301 before dissociation only if the other party to the transaction:
(i) Reasonably believes when entering the transaction that the dissociated partner is a partner at that time;
(ii) Does not have notice of the partner's dissociation; and
(iii) Is not deemed to have notice under W.S. 17-21-303(e) or 17-21-704.
(b) A dissociated partner is liable to the partnership for any loss caused to the partnership arising from an obligation incurred by the dissociated partner after dissociation, for which the partnership is liable under subsection (a) of this section.

17-21-703. Dissociated partner's liability to other persons.

(b) A partner who dissociates without resulting in a dissolution and winding up of the partnership business is personally liable as a partner to the other party on account of a partnership obligation incurred in connection with a transaction entered into by the partnership or a surviving partnership under article 9 of this chapter, within two (2) years after the partner's dissociation, only if:
(i) The other party to the transaction:
(A) Reasonably believes when entering the transaction that the dissociated partner is a partner at that time;
(B) Does not have notice of the partner's dissociation; and
(C) Is not deemed to have notice under W.S. 17-21-303(e) or 17-21-704; and
(ii) The obligation is one on account of which the partner would be personally liable under W.S. 17-21-306 if the partner had not dissociated.
(c) By agreement with the partnership creditor and the partners continuing the business, a dissociated partner may be released from liability for a partnership obligation.
(d) A dissociated partner is released from liability for a partnership obligation if a partnership creditor, with notice of the partner's dissociation but without the partner's consent, agrees to a material alteration in the nature or time of payment of a partnership obligation.

17-21-705. Continued use of partnership name.
Continued use of a partnership name, or a dissociated partner's name as part thereof, by the partners continuing the business does not of itself make the dissociated partner liable for an obligation of the partners or the partnership continuing the business.
