Fraudulent Transfers Law Legal Research

Even though bankruptcy laws vary from state to state, involvement in fraudulent conveyance can lead to the filing of state or even federal charges. Though proving intent in white collar crimes can be complicated, many states have set forth lists of specific factors that could prove your client intended to defraud a creditor. Though they vary, some of the factors that are most common include:

• Whether the debtor continued to control the property after it was transferred
• Whether the transfer was made openly or covertly
• Whether the person to whom the transfer was made is someone close to the debtor
• Whether the transfer occurred right before or right after the debtor filed for bankruptcy or stopped paying debts

Even when these factors exist, there can be a variety of lawful measures presented to determine that a debtor did or did not intend to commit fraud. The research attorneys at the National Legal Research Group are well-versed in individual state and federal laws, and can provide detailed information on how to best pursue your client’s fraudulent conveyance case
