Change in partners
67 Change in partners
A limited partner in a limited partnership may, with the consent of the general partners, assign the limited partner's share in the limited partnership (in which case the assignee will be taken to be a limited partner in substitution for the assignor with all the rights and obligations of the assignor).
A limited partner in an incorporated limited partnership may, with the consent of the general partners and the agreement of the transferee, transfer the whole or a proportion of the limited partner's interest in the limited partnership.
If the whole of the limited partner's interest in the incorporated limited partnership is transferred to the one transferee, the transferee becomes a limited partner in substitution for the transferor with all the rights and obligations of the transferor.
If only a proportion of the limited partner's interest in the incorporated limited partnership is transferred to a transferee, the transferee becomes a limited partner in substitution for the transferor in respect of the transferred proportion and with all the rights and obligations of the transferor in respect of it.
A person may be admitted as a partner in a limited partnership or incorporated limited partnership without the necessity to obtain the consent of any limited partner.
The provisions of this section may be varied by the partnership agreement or the consent of the partners.
