(a) General rule.--Except as provided under subsection (d), a dissolved limited partnership may give notice of a known claim under subsection (b) which has the effect provided in subsection (c).

(b) Required notice.--A dissolved limited partnership may notify in record form its known claimants of the dissolution. The notice must:

(1) specify the information required to be included in a claim;

(2) state that a claim must be in writing and provide a mailing address to which the claim is to be sent;

(3) state the deadline for receipt of a claim, which may not be less than 120 days after the date the notice is received by the claimant;

(4) state that the claim will be barred if not received by the deadline; and

(5) 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).

(c) Claims barred.--A claim against a dissolved limited partnership is barred if the requirements of subsection (b) are met and:

(1) the claim is not received by the specified deadline; or

(2) if the claim is timely received but rejected by the partnership:

(i) the partnership causes the claimant to receive a notice in record form stating that the claim is rejected and will be barred unless the claimant commences an action against the partnership to enforce the claim within 90 days after the claimant receives the notice; and

(ii) the claimant fails to commence the required action no later than 90 days after the claimant receives the notice.

(d) Later arising claims.--This section shall not apply to a claim based on an event occurring after the date of dissolution or a liability that on that date is contingent.
