Article 1859Limited Partnership (n)

A limited partner's interest is assignable.

A substituted limited partner is a person admitted to all

the rights of a limited partner who has died or has

assigned his interest in a partnership.

An assignee, who does not become a substituted limited

partner, has no right to require any information or

account of the partnership transactions or to inspect the

partnership books; he is only entitled to receive the share

of the profits or other compensation by way of income, or

the return of his contribution, to which his assignor would

otherwise be entitled.

An assignee shall have the right to become a substituted

limited partner if all the members consent thereto or if

the assignor, being thereunto empowered by the

certificate, gives the assignee that right.

An assignee becomes a substituted limited partner when

the certificate is appropriately amended in accordance

with article 1865.

The substituted limited partner has all the rights and

powers, and is subject to all the restrictions and liabilities

of his assignor, except those liabilities of which he was

ignorant at the time he became a limited partner and

which could not be ascertained from the certificate.

The substitution of the assignee as a limited partner does

not release the assignor from liability to the partnership

under articles 1847 and 1858.
