When creditors are encroaching, you consider safeguarding whatever you could lose to them. As a result, those who are having financial difficulties frequently think about changing the title to their home or their automobile. They consider donating property to friends or relatives. In comparison to losing the asset to a creditor, that looks like a preferable conclusion. The only issue is that, legally, it is ineffective.
Recipients of bogus transfers are sued
It has been illegal for debtors to sell their possessions to thwart their creditors for at least 400 years. Alternative phrases for the notion that you can’t give away your riches while you owe money include fraudulent conveyance and fraudulent transfer. Under both state law and bankruptcy law, it is illegal to place your assets out of reach of creditors via gifts or fictitious transfers. All a false transfer does is leave the recipient open to legal action.

If at all the price is good
This does not imply that a person who is in debt cannot sell their belongings. It implies that they must obtain a reasonable price for the goods being sold. A transaction won’t break the law if you make an effort to determine what similar items to the one you’re selling are selling for and do your best given the circumstances to set a reasonable price.
Trustees may prevent unauthorised transfers
A bankruptcy trustee may contest transfers that are undertaken for insignificant sums of money or with the intention of hiding assets from creditors. If the assets were transferred within two years of the filing for bankruptcy, the trustee has the right to take legal action against the individual who received them. In addition to the avoidance powers provided by the Bankruptcy Code, the bankruptcy trustee also has the rights of an unsecured creditor with a judgement under the laws of the state in which the case is now ongoing.
Chapter 13: Maintain your assets
Don’t feel the need to hide your possessions. Talk about your alternatives. In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the debtor often retains all of their assets. Creditors receive what they would have received in the case if Chapter 7 had been used instead through payments to the Chapter 13 plan.
