(a) Permissive notice.--A dissolved limited partnership may publish notice of its dissolution and request persons having claims against the partnership to present them in accordance with the notice.

(b) Notice procedure.--A notice under subsection (a) must:

(1) be officially published one time;

(2) describe the information required to be contained in a claim, state that the claim must be in writing and provide a mailing address to which the claim is to be sent;

(3) state that a claim against the partnership is barred unless an action to enforce the claim is commenced within two years after publication of the notice; and

(4) unless the partnership has been throughout its existence a limited liability limited partnership, state that the barring of a claim against the partnership will also bar any corresponding claim against any general partner or person dissociated as a general partner which is based on section 8644 (relating to general partner's liability).

(c) Claims barred.--If a dissolved limited partnership publishes a notice in accordance with subsection (b), the claim of each of the following claimants is barred unless the claimant commences an action to enforce the claim against the partnership within two years after the publication date of the notice:

(1) a claimant that did not receive notice in record form under section 8686 (relating to known claims against dissolved limited partnership);

(2) a claimant whose claim was timely sent to the partnership but not acted on; and

(3) a claimant whose claim is contingent at, or based on an event occurring after, the date of dissolution.

(d) Claims not barred.--A claim not barred under this section or section 8686 may be enforced:

(1) against the dissolved limited partnership, to the extent of its undistributed assets;

(2) except as provided under section 8688 (relating to court proceedings), if assets of the partnership have been distributed after dissolution, against a partner or transferee to the extent of that person's proportionate share of the claim or of the partnership's assets distributed to the partner or transferee after dissolution, whichever is less, except that a person's total liability for all claims under this paragraph may not exceed the total amount of assets distributed to the person after dissolution; and

(3) against any person liable on the claim under sections 8644 and 8667 (relating to liability of person dissociated as general partner to other persons).
