[WSBAPT] Transfer right before death

[Eric Nelsen]

See Uniform Voidable Transactions Act, Ch. 19.40 RCW<https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=19.40>. Generally, when a debtor transfers assets and makes themselves insolvent thereby, a creditor can sue to undo the transfers.

Sincerely,

Eric

Subject: [WSBAPT] Transfer right before death


Decedent sees the end coming. Transfers all assets to their sibling.

Decedent passes with $XXX in debt.

Is the estate insolvent where the creditors are “out of luck” or is this a transfer that can be undone.

Key in my mind is that there is literally not a single asset that will be conveyed after death.
