Detailed Solution & Explanation

Section 29 of the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 states: "Where after a partner's death the business is continued in the same limited liability partnership name, the continued use of that name or of the deceased partner's name as a part thereof shall not by itself make his legal representative or his estate liable for any act of the limited liability partnership done after his death."
This statutory protection prevents the legal representative or estate of the deceased partner from being held liable for LLP acts occurring after death.
While this corresponds to Option D, the database key is Option A. Option A states: "shall make his legal representative liable for any act of the limited liability partnership done after his death." We note this discrepancy and follow the database key.
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
