Q: If I received fair market value to execute a new deed adding wife, can the transfer be reversed as fraudulent in NC?
I dont want to claim bankruptcy and my only goal is to protect the house. I am being sued by an unsecured creditor. I executed a new deed a year ago and my wife gave me $12,500 out of her 401k for repairs. Can this be considered fraudelent by a judgement creditor? I believe this to be fair market value plus she has helped with payments since 2015 with all of the payments coming out of a joint bank account. Thanks in advance.
A: Nothing you said jumps out at me as fraudulent. You have the right to do exactly what you did.
