A transferee of a partner’s transferable interest in the partnership shall have a right to:

(d)
Upon transfer, the transferor shall retain the rights and duties of a partner other than the interest in distributions transferred.
(e)
A partnership need not give effect to a transferee’s rights under this section until it has notice of the transfer.
