§ 35-10-302. Transfer Of Partnership Property

Transfer of partnership property. (1) Subject to the effect of a statement of partnership authority pursuant to 35-10-310 : (a) partnership property held in the name of the partnership may be transferred by an instrument of transfer executed by a partner in the partnership name; (b) partnership property held in the name of one or more partners with an indication in the instrument transferring the property to them of their capacity as partners or of the existence of a partnership, but without an indication of the name of the partnership, may be transferred by an instrument of transfer executed by the persons in whose name the property is held; and (c) a partnership may recover property transferred under this subsection if it proves that execution of the instrument of transfer did not bind the partnership under 35-10-301 unless the property was transferred by the initial transferee or a person claiming through the initial transferee to a subsequent transferee who gave value without having notice that the person who executed the instrument of initial transfer lacked authority to bind the partnership. (2) Partnership property held in the name of one or more persons other than the partnership without an indication in the instrument transferring the property to them of their capacity as partners or of the existence of a partnership may be transferred free of any claims of the partnership or the partners by the persons in whose name the property is held to a transferee who gives value without having notice that it is partnership property. (3) If a person holds all of the partners' interests in the partnership, all of the partnership property vests in that person. The person may execute a document in the name of the partnership to evidence vesting of the property in that person and may file or record the document.
