Maitland Fraudulent Conveyance Lawyers

What Is Fraudulent Conveyance in Florida

Under Florida law, a fraudulent conveyance (also called a fraudulent transfer or voidable transaction) occurs when property is transferred in a way that hinders, delays, or defrauds a creditor or another party with a lawful interest in those assets. These claims are governed by Florida Statutes Chapter 726.

Florida courts recognize two types. Actual fraud involves a transfer made with intent to defraud a creditor; courts look for "badges of fraud" such as transfers to family members, no consideration, or timing tied to pending litigation. Constructive fraud requires no intent; it applies when a transfer lacked reasonably equivalent value, and the debtor was insolvent at the time or became insolvent as a result.

These claims arise in probate when a decedent moved assets before death, and in divorce when one spouse shifts property to distort the marital estate.

Our Fraudulent Conveyance Legal Services in Maitland

We bring focused, thorough representation to every fraudulent transfer matter. For clients pursuing a claim or defending against one, our Maitland probate attorneys are prepared for the financial investigation and courtroom advocacy these cases demand.

Asset Tracing and Investigation

We identify and document transfers that may qualify as fraudulent under Florida law, covering real estate, cash, business interests, and other property moved before or after a death.

Voidable Transaction Claims

When a transfer meets the legal threshold for fraud, we file the claims needed to void the transaction and pursue recovery on behalf of the estate or creditor.

Creditor Representation

We represent creditors whose legitimate claims are being blocked by improper asset movement, seeking court intervention to recover what our clients are owed.

Beneficiary and Estate Claims

When estate assets have been diverted before or after a loved one's death, we pursue claims on behalf of beneficiaries and personal representatives to restore the estate to its proper condition.

Defense Against Fraudulent Transfer Claims

If you have been accused of receiving or making an improper transfer, we provide a strong defense. Not every transfer is fraudulent, and we examine the complete factual record before responding to any claim.

Probate and Estate Litigation

Fraudulent conveyance claims frequently intersect with broader estate litigation, including will contests, breach of fiduciary duty, and undue influence. Our firm handles the full scope of those disputes under one roof.

Common Signs of a Fraudulent Transfer

Fraudulent transfers are not always obvious. Recognizing the warning signs early gives our attorneys room to act before assets are further dissipated. Florida courts evaluate a pattern of conduct, and these factors frequently appear in viable claims:

• A transfer made immediately before or after a lawsuit was filed or a debt came due;
• Property conveyed to a close family member or business associate for little or no consideration;
• A debtor who continued to use or control the property after transferring title;
• A transfer that left the debtor insolvent or unable to pay outstanding obligations;
• A series of transactions structured to obscure how assets moved;
• Secrecy surrounding the transaction, the asset, or the recipient.

If you recognize any of these patterns in an estate, inheritance, or business relationship, our Maitland fraudulent conveyance lawyers can assess your claim's viability.

Steps to Take If You Suspect a Fraudulent Transfer

Florida's statute of limitations for actual-intent fraudulent transfer claims is four years from the transfer date or within 1 year after the transfer was or could reasonably have been discovered by the claimant, whichever is later. Constructive fraud claims under 726.105(1)(b) and 726.106(1) get a flat four years with no discovery extension. Acting early preserves options. Before reaching out:

• Gather records such as deeds, bank statements, and correspondence tied to the asset;
• Document your relationship to the debtor and your legal interest in the transferred property;
• Avoid contact with the transferor before speaking with an attorney, as premature outreach can complicate the record;
• Contact Veliz Katz Law early so we can assess the situation and act in time.
