Tennessee Code Title 61. Partnerships § 61-3-808

(a) A dissolved limited partnership that has published a notice under § 61-3-807 may file an application with the chancery court in the county where the limited partnership's principal office is located or, if the principal office is not located in this state, where the office of the limited partnership's registered agent is or was last located, for a determination of the amount and form of security to be provided for payment of claims that are contingent, have not been made known to the limited partnership, or are based on an event occurring after the date of dissolution but which, based on the facts known to the limited partnership, are reasonably expected to arise after the date of dissolution. Security is not required for any claim that is or is reasonably anticipated to be barred under § 61-3-807.

(b) Not later than ten (10) days after the filing of an application under subsection (a), the dissolved limited partnership shall give notice of the proceeding to each claimant holding a contingent claim known to the limited partnership.

(c) In a proceeding brought under this section, the court may appoint a guardian ad litem to represent all claimants whose identities are unknown. The reasonable fees and expenses of the guardian, including all reasonable expert witness fees, must be paid by the dissolved limited partnership.

(d) A dissolved limited partnership that provides security in the amount and form ordered by the court under subsection (a) satisfies the limited partnership's obligations with respect to claims that are contingent, have not been made known to the limited partnership, or are based on an event occurring after the date of dissolution, and such claims must not be enforced against a partner or transferee on account of assets received in liquidation.
