(b) Notice procedure.--A notice under subsection (a) must:

(1) be officially published one time;

(2) describe the information required to be contained in a claim, state that the claim must be in writing and provide a mailing address to which the claim is to be sent;

(3) state that a claim against the partnership is barred unless an action to enforce the claim is commenced within two years after publication of the notice; and

(4) unless the partnership has been throughout its existence a limited liability partnership, state that the barring of a claim against the partnership will also bar any corresponding claim against any partner or person dissociated as a partner which is based on section 8436 (relating to partner's liability).

(c) Claims barred.--If a dissolved limited liability partnership publishes a notice in accordance with subsection (b), the claim of each of the following claimants is barred unless the claimant commences an action to enforce the claim against the partnership within two years after the publication date of the notice:

(1) a claimant that did not receive notice in record form under section 8241 (relating to known claims against dissolved limited liability partnership);

(2) a claimant whose claim was timely sent to the partnership but not acted on; and

(3) a claimant whose claim is contingent at, or based on an event occurring after, the date of dissolution.

(d) Claims not barred.--A claim not barred under this section or section 8241 may be enforced:

(1) against a dissolved limited liability partnership, to the extent of its undistributed assets;

(2) except as provided in section 8243 (relating to court proceedings), if assets of the partnership have been distributed after dissolution, against a partner or transferee to the extent of that person's proportionate share of the claim or of the partnership's assets distributed to the partner or transferee after dissolution, whichever is less, except that a person's total liability for all claims under this paragraph may not exceed the total amount of assets distributed to the person after dissolution; and

(3) against any person liable on the claim under sections 8436, 8473 (relating to liability of person dissociated as partner to other persons) and 8485 (relating to liability after dissolution).
