A partner leaving a Florida business doesn’t always shut it down. It does change who owns it, who runs it, and who owes what. Under Florida law, a partner is dissociated when the partnership learns of that partner’s express will to withdraw, or when another listed event happens. This guide explains partner dissociation in plain terms, so you can understand your position before you decide anything. KEW Legal is a Florida business law firm with offices in Coral Gables and Sunny Isles Beach. It acts as outside general counsel for business owners and investors across Miami-Dade and South Florida. Kristina E. Wilson is the responsible lawyer for this page.<\/p>\n

What Partner Dissociation Means Under Florida Law<\/h2>\n

Partner dissociation means one partner stops being a partner in the partnership. It is not the same as dissolution, which is when the business itself winds up. Under Fla. Stat. \u00a7 620.8601<\/a>, a partner is dissociated from a partnership upon the occurrence of certain listed events, including the partnership receiving notice of the partner’s express will to withdraw. The events that cause a partner to leave are listed in Fla. Stat. \u00a7 620.8601<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Your entity type decides which rules apply. A partnership follows Chapter 620. An LLC follows the Florida Revised LLC Act in Chapter 605 and its operating agreement. Sunbiz<\/a>, the Florida Division of Corporations, publishes the official filing and status requirements for Florida business entities. Confirm the entity type first, before you read any other rule.<\/p>\n

This guide is written for three kinds of readers. One is a partner thinking about leaving. Another is a remaining partner deciding what happens next. The third is someone helping a co-owner or family member through the process.<\/p>\n\n

Events That Cause a Partner to Dissociate<\/h2>\n

A partner dissociates when the partnership has notice of that partner’s express will to withdraw. Other listed events also cause dissociation, and some happen without the partner’s choice. Under Fla. Stat. \u00a7 620.8601<\/a>, the main triggers include:<\/p>\n
