Episode Description / Show Notes: 
  • Learn what a fraudulent conveyance really means in legal and investigative terms.
  • Discover how debtors may attempt to hide assets to avoid paying creditors.
  • Understand that we are not giving legal advice—always consult a qualified attorney.
  • Examples of fraudulent conveyance include:
    • A debtor transferring real estate, vehicles, or cash out of their name before or during a lawsuit.
    • A husband quitclaiming a shared property to his wife during litigation.
    • Someone transferring large sums of money to a relative’s bank account with no clear return of value.
  • A court must declare a transfer as a fraudulent conveyance—you can’t just claim it based on suspicion.
  • Creditors must present evidence such as:
    • Real estate deeds
    • Corporate filings
    • Certified documents showing asset transfers
  • The court will only act when you file a proper legal argument—this is not automatic.
  • You may need to prove the transfer had no fair exchange of value and was intended to shield assets.
  • In many cases, attorneys may use a legal concept called a constructive trust—this means the person receiving the asset could be viewed as holding it in trust for the real owner (the debtor).
  • If you suspect a fraudulent conveyance, document it early and consult a legal professional to possibly recover the hidden assets.
