Voidable Transactions
A voidable transaction, commonly known as a fraudulent conveyance, refers to a transfer of assets made by a debtor with the intent to evade creditors. In New York, this legal action is governed by the Uniform Voidable Transactions Act (UVTA), which replaced the former Debtor and Creditor Law in 2020. This modern law serves to protect the rights of creditors by providing a clear legal framework to challenge and nullify specific transactions, thereby allowing for the recovery of transferred assets that could otherwise be used to satisfy a debt. The UVTA not only updates the legal language but also harmonizes New York's laws with those of the majority of other states and the federal Bankruptcy Code, creating greater consistency and predictability for all parties involved.
