(a) General rule.--A transfer, in whole or in part, of a transferable interest:
(1) is permissible;
(2) does not by itself cause the dissociation of the transferor as a partner or a dissolution and winding up of the limited partnership's activities and affairs; and
(3) subject to section 8674 (relating to power of personal representative of deceased partner), does not entitle the transferee to:
(i) participate in the management or conduct of the partnership's activities and affairs; or
(ii) except as provided under subsection (c), have access to required information, records or other information concerning the partnership's activities and affairs.
(b) Right to distributions.--A transferee has the right to receive, in accordance with the transfer, distributions to which the transferor would otherwise be entitled.
(c) Right to account on dissolution.--In a dissolution and winding up of a limited partnership, a transferee is entitled to an account of the partnership's transactions only from the date of dissolution.
(d) Certificate of interest.--A transferable interest may be evidenced by a certificate of the interest issued by a limited partnership in record form, and, subject to this section, the interest represented by the certificate may be transferred by a transfer of the certificate.
(e) Recognition of transferee's rights.--A limited partnership need not give effect to a transferee's rights under this section until the partnership knows or has notice of the transfer.
(f) Transfer restrictions.--A transfer of a transferable interest in violation of a restriction on transfer contained in the partnership agreement is ineffective if the intended transferee has knowledge or notice of the restriction at the time of transfer.
(g) Rights retained by transferor.--Except as provided under sections 8661(b)(4)(ii) (relating to dissociation as limited partner) and 8663(a)(4)(ii) (relating to dissociation as general partner), if a general or limited partner transfers a transferable interest, the transferor retains the rights of a general or limited partner other than the transferable interest transferred and retains all the duties and obligations of a general or limited partner.
