fraudulent conveyance
ATTEMPT TO AVOID DEBT BY TRANSFERRING MONEY TO ANOTHER PERSON OR COMPANY, PARTICULARLY WITH REFERENCE TO INSOLVENT DEBTORS
Fraudulent transfer; Actio pauliana; Fraudulent transfers; Fraudulent disposition
n. the transfer (conveyance) of title to real property for the express purpose of putting it beyond the reach of a known creditor. In such a case the creditor may bring a lawsuit to void the transfer. However, if the transfer was made without knowledge of the claim (or before a debt has matured), for other legitimate reasons, and/or in the normal course of business, then the creditor's attempt to obtain a judgment setting aside the conveyance will probably fail.
