If you have intended to file for bankruptcy owing to huge debts there is more probability perhaps that the creditors might want to siphon your house and other property even before you have actually filed for insolvency and this is referred to as preferential transfer of assets. Creditors are more inclined to this method because by this way they can hope to receive more than if your assets are liquidated according to the Bankruptcy code. Sometimes there are major revelations in bankruptcy that a specific creditor has been preferred over others as far as making payments are concerned or may be to a friend; to sum up many small payments were made on one credit card in particular which is a proper example of preferential transfer. Preferences imply to all and any kind of property transfer of the debtor which includes property, foreclosure, repossessions and garnishments.
However the bankruptcy trustee has the power to prohibit confiscation of assets if the debtors are unable to make their repayments within the time frame before the transfer of property may have been already done. The preferential transfer must have met with the following requirements for the bankruptcy trustee to act when:
The transfers of assets have taken place at least on or before 90 days within the filing of petition.
If the creditor belongs to the group then transfer should take place between 90 days and one year.
If the creditors took such actions, they will have a larger share in the assets if No transfer has taken place.
The bankruptcy case has been filed under Chapter 7.
If the debtor’s case have been filed under the rules and terms of Bankruptcy.
But there is no imminent need for the debtor to panic and it is advisable to consult with a bankruptcy lawyer who is in a position to state whether the transfer is preferential which can help you to gain some proof and work a favorable settlement with the trustee.
