11 U.S.C. § 723 — Rights of partnership trustee against general partners

**(a)** If there is a deficiency of property of the estate to pay in full all claims which are allowed in a case under this chapter concerning a partnership and with respect to which a general partner of the partnership is personally liable, the trustee shall have a claim against such general partner to the extent that under applicable nonbankruptcy law such general partner is personally liable for such deficiency. **(b)** To the extent practicable, the trustee shall first seek recovery of such deficiency from any general partner in such partnership that is not a debtor in a case under this title. Pending determination of such deficiency, the court may order any such partner to provide the estate with indemnity for, or assurance of payment of, any deficiency recoverable from such partner, or not to dispose of property. **(c)** The trustee has a claim against the estate of each general partner in such partnership that is a debtor in a case under this title for the full amount of all claims of creditors allowed in the case concerning such partnership. Notwithstanding [section 502 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title11-section502&num=0&edition=prelim), there shall not be allowed in such partner’s case a claim against such partner on which both such partner and such partnership are liable, except to any extent that such claim is secured only by property of such partner and not by property of such partnership. The claim of the trustee under this subsection is entitled to distribution in such partner’s case under [section 726(a) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title11-section726/a&num=0&edition=prelim) the same as any other claim of a kind specified in such section. **(d)** If the aggr

11 U.S.C. § 723 — Rights of partnership trustee against gen-

Page 200 TITLE 11—BANKRUPTCY § 723 thorizes an individual debtor to redeem tangible per- sonal property intended primarily for personal, family, or household use, from a lien securing a dischargeable consumer debt. It applies only if the debtor’s interest in the property is exempt or has been abandoned. The right to redeem extends to the whole of the prop- erty, not just the debtor’s exempt interest in it. Thus, for example, if a debtor owned a $2,000 car, subject to a $1,200 lien, the debtor could exempt his $800 interest in the car. The debtor is permitted a $1,500 exemption in a car, proposed 11 U.S.C. 522(d)(2). This section per- mits him to pay the holder of the lien $1,200 and redeem the entire car, not just the remaining $700 of his exemp- tion. The redemption is accomplished by paying the holder of the lien the amount of the allowed claim se- cured by the lien. The provision amounts to a right of first refusal for the debtor in consumer goods that might otherwise be repossessed. The right of redemp- tion under this section is not waivable.
