Section 362.1-504 - Partner's transferable interest subject to charging order(1) This section provides the exclusive remedy by which the judgment creditor of a partner or the transferee of a partner may satisfy a judgment out of the judgment debtor's transferable interest.(2) On application to a court of competent jurisdiction by a judgment creditor of a partner or a partner's transferee, a court may charge the transferable interest of the judgment debtor with payment of the unsatisfied amount of the judgment. To the extent so charged, the judgment creditor has only the rights of a transferee and shall have no right to participate in the management of or to cause the dissolution of the partnership. The court may appoint a receiver of the share of the distributions due or to become due to the judgment debtor in respect of the partnership and make all other orders, directions, accounts, and inquiries the judgment debtor might have made or which the circumstances of the case may require to give effect to the charging order.(3) A charging order constitutes a lien on and the right to receive distributions made with respect to the judgment debtor's transferable interest in the partnership.(4) The court may order a foreclosure of the interest subject to the charging order at any time. The purchaser at the foreclosure sale has the rights of a transferee. A charging order does not of itself constitute an assignment of the transferable interest.(5) At any time before foreclosure, an interest charged may be redeemed:(a) By the judgment debtor;(b) With property other than partnership property, by one (1) or more of the other partners; or(c) With partnership property, by one (1) or more of the other partners with the consent of all of the partners whose interests are not so charged.(6) This subchapter does not deprive a partner or a partner's transferee of a right under exemption laws with respect to the partner's or transferee's interest in the partnership.(7) The partnership is not a necessary party to an application for a charging order. Service of the charging order on a partnership may be made by the court granting the charging order or as the court may otherwise direct.(8) This section shall not apply to the enforcement of a judgment by a partnership against a partner of that partnership.(9) This section shall apply to the issuance of a charging order against the interest of a partner or transferee of a partner of a foreign partnership.Amended by 2017 Ky.
