Solution

The incorrect statement is:

b. Once the partners agree to dissolve the partnership (that is, bring the partnership to an end), the partner’s fiduciary obligations also cease at that point.

Explanation: This statement is incorrect because even after the dissolution of a partnership, partners still have certain fiduciary duties towards each other until the winding up of the partnership affairs is completed. They must act in good faith and must not take any action that harms the interests of the other partners or the partnership.
