a person can also assign their rights to receive the benefits owed to a partner in a partnership. however, the assignee can "not" thereby gain any of the assignor's rights with respect to the operation of the partnership. the assignee may not vote on partnership matters, inspect the partnership books, or take possession of partnership property; rather, the assignee can only be given the right is to collect distributions of income, unless the remaining partners consent to the assignment of a new general partner with operational, management, and financial interests. if the partnership is dissolved, the assignee can also claim the assignor's share of any distribution accompanying the dissolution.
