(a) Distributions before dissolution.--Any distribution made by a partnership before its dissolution and winding up shall be in equal shares among partners and persons dissociated as partners whose interests in the partnership have not been purchased under section 8471 (relating to purchase of interest of person dissociated as partner), except as provided in section 8453(b) (relating to transfer of transferable interest) or to the extent necessary to comply with a charging order in effect under section 8454 (relating to charging order).

(b) No right to distribution.--Subject to section 8471, a person has a right to a distribution before the dissolution and winding up of a partnership only if the partnership decides to make an interim distribution.

(c) Form of distribution.--A person does not have a right to demand or receive a distribution from a partnership in any form other than money. Except as provided in section 8486 (relating to disposition of assets in winding up and required contributions), a partnership may distribute an asset in kind only if each part of the asset is fungible with each other part and each person receives a percentage of the asset equal in value to the person's share of distributions.

The partnership's obligation to make a distribution is subject to offset for any amount owed to the partnership by the partner or a person dissociated as partner on whose account the distribution is made.
