Transferring Property After A Bankruptcy
A Sacramento lawyer discusses transferring property after a bankruptcy
Transfer of real estate after a bankruptcy is filed may be cancelled by the trustee. Upon filing a bankruptcy a trustee is assigned to liquidate assets, if any. If a filer transfers property after filing then the trustee has the authority to recoup the property because is was transferred without the permission of the trustee. By recouping the property the trustee is able to preserve the property for possible liquidation and repayment to any creditors filing claims in your case.
Any recipient of property must turn the property over or pay its value to the trustee. If the recipient then again transfers the property with out any knowledge of the filer’s bankruptcy then the transfer is deemed to be in good faith and the property does not have to be returned to the trustee.
A trustee can use his post filing avoidance powers before the earlier of two years after the transfer or at the time the case is closed or dismissed.
