183.0706 Right of assignee to become a member.
(1) Unless otherwise provided in an operating agreement, an assignee of a limited liability company interest may become a member only if the other members unanimously consent. The consent of a member may be evidenced in any manner specified in an operating agreement, but in the absence of such specification, consent shall be evidenced by a written instrument that is dated and signed by the member.
(2)
(a) An assignee of a limited liability company interest who becomes a member has, to the extent assigned, the rights and powers, and is subject to the restrictions and liabilities, of the assignor under an operating agreement and this chapter. An assignee who becomes a member is liable for any of the assignor's obligations under an operating agreement and this chapter to the limited liability company.
(b) Notwithstanding par. (a), an assignee is not obligated for liabilities of which the assignee had no knowledge at the time the assignee became a member or which could not be ascertained from any written records of the limited liability company kept under s. 183.0405 (1).
(3) Unless otherwise provided in an operating agreement, an assignor of a limited liability company interest is not released from any liability of the assignor to the limited liability company under this chapter without the written consent of all of the members, whether or not the assignee becomes a member.
