Fraudulant Transfers
A claimed fraudulent transfer is a transfer or conveyance made within two years prior to filing for bankruptcy with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud a present or future creditor. Under section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, debtor or trustee may avoid fraudulent transfers and recover any property of the estate that was fraudulently conveyed to a third party. In the absence of fraudulent intent, a transfer may still be avoidable as constructively fraudulent under both the Bankruptcy Code and applicable state law if such transfer was made in exchange for less than reasonably equivalent value, and (i) debtor was insolvent at the time of the transfer, (ii) debtor was rendered insolvent as a result of the transfer, or (iii) transfer was made to an insider of debtor.
