Power of legal representative of deceased or incompetent partner
(a) If a partner who is an individual dies or a court of competent jurisdiction adjudges him to be incompetent to manage his person or his property, the partner’s executor, administrator, conservator, or other legal representative may exercise all the partner’s rights for the purpose of settling his estate or administering his property, including any power the partner had to give an assignee the right to become a limited partner.

Annotations
COMMENT Note to Georgia Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act This section provides for succession to the rights, powers and liabilities of a deceased partner. Prior Georgia Law Section 14-9A-51, which applies only to deceased partners, is similar except that it refers to partners instead of only limited partners, as well as to partners that are not individuals. Comparison With Official RULPA Subsection (b), which is not in the official version, is based on prior Section 14-9A-51, with the differences noted in Prior Georgia Law, above. Cross-References Events causing person to cease to be a partner: § 14-9-602. Right of withdrawing partner to receive distribution: § 14-9-604. Dissolution on withdrawal of general partner: § 14-9-801(3). Distribution on dissolution of partnership: § 14-9-804. RESEARCH REFERENCES Am. Jur. 2d. - 59A Am. Jur. 2d, Partnership, § 808 et seq.
