35-12-902. Liability for contributions. - Montana Statutes

     35-12-902. Liability for contributions. (1) A promise by a limited partner to contribute to the limited partnership is not enforceable unless set out in a writing signed by the limited partner.
     (2) Except as otherwise provided in the partnership agreement, a partner is liable to the limited partnership for any enforceable promise to contribute cash or property or to perform services regardless of whether the partner is personally unable to perform because of disability, death, or any other reason. If a partner does not make the required contribution of property or services, the partner is obligated at the option of the limited partnership to contribute cash equal to that portion of the value, as stated in the partnership records required to be kept pursuant to 35-12-508, of the stated contribution that has not been made.
     (3) Unless otherwise provided in the partnership agreement, the obligation of a partner to make a contribution or return money or other property paid or distributed in violation of this chapter may be compromised only by consent of all of the partners. Notwithstanding a compromise so authorized, a creditor of a limited partnership who extends credit or otherwise acts in reliance on that obligation after the partner signs a writing that, in either case, reflects the obligation and before the amendment or cancellation to reflect the compromise may enforce the precompromise obligation.
