(a) Any distribution made by a partnership before its dissolution and winding up must be in equal shares among partners, except to the extent necessary to comply with a transfer effective under § 7-12.1-503 or charging order in effect under § 7-12.1-504. (b) Subject to § 7-12.1-701, a person has a right to a distribution before the dissolution and winding up of a partnership only if the partnership decides to make an interim distribution. (c) A person does not have a right to demand or receive a distribution from a partnership in any form other than money. Except as otherwise provided in § 7-12.1-806, a partnership may distribute an asset in kind only if each part of the asset is fungible with each other part and each person receives a percentage of the asset equal in value to the person’s share of distributions. (d) If a partner or transferee becomes entitled to receive a distribution, the partner or transferee has the status of, and is entitled to all remedies available to, a creditor of the partnership with respect to the distribution. However, the partnership’s obligation to make a distribution is subject to offset for any amount owed to the partnership by the partner or a person dissociated as partner on whose account the distribution is made.
