(1) A dissolved limited liability company that has filed or published a notice under s. 605.0712(1)(a) or (1)(b) may file an application with the circuit court in the applicable county, as defined in s. 605.0711(15), for a determination of the amount and form of security to be provided for payment of claims that are contingent, have not been made known to the company, or are based on an event occurring after the effective date of dissolution but which, based on the facts known to the dissolved company, are reasonably expected to arise after the effective date of dissolution. Security is not required for a claim that is, or is reasonably anticipated to be, barred under s. 605.0712.
(2) Within 10 days after filing an application under subsection (1), the dissolved limited liability company must give notice of the proceeding to each claimant holding a contingent claim known to the company.
(3) In a proceeding under this section, the court may appoint a guardian ad litem to represent all claimants whose identities are unknown. The reasonable fees and expenses of the guardian ad litem, including all reasonable expert witness fees, must be paid by the dissolved limited liability company.
(4) A dissolved limited liability company that provides security in the amount and form ordered by the court under subsection (1) satisfies the company’s obligations with respect to claims that are contingent, have not been made known to the company, or are based on an event occurring after the effective date of dissolution, and such claims may not be enforced against a member or transferee that received assets in liquidation.
