Sec 29-342. Right of assignee to become limited partner

A. An assignee of a partnership interest, including an assignee of a general partner, may become a limited partner if and to the extent that:

1. The assignor gives the assignee that right in accordance with authority described in the partnership agreement; or

2. All other partners consent.

B. An assignee who has become a limited partner has, to the extent assigned, the rights and powers and is subject to the restrictions and liabilities of a limited partner under the partnership agreement and this chapter. An assignee who becomes a limited partner also is liable for the obligations of his assignor to make and return contributions as provided in articles 5 and 6 of this chapter. However, the assignee is not obligated for liabilities unknown to the assignee at the time he became a limited partner.

C. If an assignee of a partnership interest becomes a limited partner, the assignor is not released from his liability to the limited partnership under sections 29-314 and 29-328.
