1. An assignee of a partnership interest, including an assignee of a general partner, may become a limited partner if and to the extent that either of the following applies:
a. The assignor gives the assignee that right in accordance with authority described in the partnership agreement.
b. All other partners consent.
2. An assignee who has become a limited partner has, to the extent assigned, the rights and powers, and is subject to the restrictions and liabilities, of a limited partner under the partnership agreement and this chapter. An assignee who becomes a limited partner also is liable for the obligations of the assignor to make and return contributions as provided in articles 5 and 6 of this chapter. However, the assignee is not obligated for liabilities unknown to the assignee at the time the assignee became a limited partner.
3. The fact that an assignee of a partnership interest has become a limited partner does not release the assignor from the assignor's liability to the limited partnership under sections 487.207 and 487.502.
