A trustee in bankruptcy may avoid which of the following?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A trustee in bankruptcy may avoid both fraudulent transfers and voidable preferences. A fraudulent transfer is a transfer of property made with the intent to hinder, delay, or defraud creditors. A voidable preference is a payment, transfer, or other transfer of property made to a creditor before the filing of the bankruptcy case that results in the creditor receiving more than they would have received from the bankruptcy estate. The trustee may avoid these transactions and recover the property or funds for the benefit of the bankruptcy estate. Automatic stays, on the other hand, are put in place as soon as a bankruptcy case is filed and prevent certain actions by creditors to collect debts from the debtor. A trustee in bankruptcy does not avoid an automatic stay, as it benefits the debtor by giving them a chance to reorganize their finances without the threat of collection actions.
