(a) A dissolved domestic entity, except as otherwise provided in subsection (e), may dispose of the known claims against it by following the procedure described in this section.

(b) The dissolved domestic entity shall notify its known claimants in writing of the dissolution at any time after its effective date. The written notice must:

(1) Describe information that must be included in a claim;

(2) Provide a mailing address where a claim may be sent;

(3) State the deadline, which may not be fewer than 120 days from the effective date of the written notice, by which the terminated domestic entity must receive the claim; and

(4) State that the claim will be barred if not received by the deadline.

(c) A claim against a dissolved domestic entity is barred:

(1) If a claimant who was given written notice under subsection (b) does not deliver the claim to the dissolved domestic entity by the deadline;

(2) If a claimant whose claim was rejected by the dissolved domestic entity does not commence a proceeding to enforce the claim within 90 days from the effective date of the rejection notice.

(d) For purposes of this section, "known claim" or "claim" includes unliquidated claims but does not include a contingent liability that has not matured so that there is no immediate right to bring suit, or a claim based on an event occurring after the effective date of dissolution.

(e) The procedures of this section do not apply to the disposition of claims against a general or limited partnership.
