(1) Except to the extent necessary to comply with a transfer effective under Section 48-2e-702 or charging order in effect under Section 48-2e-703, any distributions made by a limited partnership before its dissolution and winding up must be in equal shares among partners and persons dissociated as partners.
(2) A person has a right to a distribution before the dissolution and winding up of a limited partnership only if the limited partnership decides to make an interim distribution. A person's dissociation does not entitle the person to a distribution.
(3) A person does not have a right to demand or receive a distribution from a limited partnership in any form other than money. Except as otherwise provided in Subsection 48-2e-813(5), 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.
(4) 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 limited partnership with respect to the distribution. However, the limited partnership's obligation to make a distribution is subject to offset for any amount owed to the limited partnership by the partner or a person dissociated as a partner on whose account the distribution is made.
