An assignee who becomes a limited partner also is liable for the obligations of the assignor to make contributions as provided in IC 23-16-6-2. However, the assignee is not obligated for liabilities that were unknown to the assignee at the time the assignee became a limited partner and that could not be ascertained from the partnership agreement.
