(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).

(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).
