Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. Court order charging transferable interest; rights of transferee. On application to a court
of competent jurisdiction by any judgment creditor of a partner or transferee, the court may charge the
transferable interest of the judgment debtor with payment of the unsatisfied amount of the judgment
with interest. To the extent so charged, the judgment creditor has only the rights of a transferee. The
court may appoint a receiver of the share of the distributions due or to become due to the judgment
debtor in respect of the partnership and make all other orders, directions, accounts and inquiries the
judgment debtor might have made or that the circumstances of the case may require to give effect to
the charging order.
[PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. C, §2 (NEW).]
2. Charging order a lien; foreclosure; rights of transferee. A charging order constitutes a lien
on the judgment debtor's transferable interest. The court may order a foreclosure upon the interest
subject to the charging order at any time. The purchaser at the foreclosure sale has the rights of a
transferee.
[PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. C, §2 (NEW).]
3. Redemption before foreclosure. At any time before foreclosure, an interest charged may be
redeemed:
A. By the judgment debtor; [PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. C, §2 (NEW).]
B. With property other than limited partnership property, by one or more of the other partners; or
[PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. C, §2 (NEW).]
C. With limited partnership property, by the limited partnership with the consent of all partners
whose interests are not so charged. [PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. C, §2 (NEW).]
[PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. C, §2 (NEW).]
4. Exemption laws applicable. This chapter does not deprive any partner or transferee of the
benefit of any exemption laws applicable to the partner's or transferee's transferable interest.
[PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. C, §2 (NEW).]

5. Exclusive remedy. This section provides the exclusive remedy by which a judgment creditor
of a partner or transferee may satisfy a judgment out of the judgment debtor's transferable interest.
[PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. C, §2 (NEW).]
