Answer:
The Alabama Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act aims to prevent debtors from transferring property to defraud creditors and hide assets. If a creditor believes a transfer was fraudulent, they can seek various remedies, including:
- Avoiding the transfer to satisfy the creditor's claim.
- Obtaining an attachment or provisional remedy against the transferred asset or other property of the transferee.
- Securing an injunction to prevent further disposition of the asset by the debtor or transferee.
- Appointing a receiver to manage the transferred asset or other property of the transferee.
- Any other relief deemed necessary by the court.
If a creditor has a judgment against the debtor, they may also execute on the transferred asset or its proceeds, if ordered by the court.
