Dissolution due to the death of a partner

(1) The partnership is dissolved by the death of one of its partners unless its partnership agreement leads to a different conclusion.

(2) In the case of dissolution, the heir of the deceased partner is to inform the remaining partners of the death without undue delay and, where postponement entails danger, is to carry on the business transferred to the deceased by the partnership agreement until the remaining partners are able to reach another arrangement jointly with the heir. The remaining partners in like manner are obliged to continue temporarily the work and service transferred to them. The partnership is deemed to continue in existence in this respect.
