Fraudulent conveyance claims in plain words
A fraudulent conveyance claim argues that a transfer was made to hinder creditors. It is a lawsuit theme, not a CRA form name.
What the claim asserts
The plaintiff says property was transferred for little or no real value, or on terms meant to keep it away from people who are owed money. Remedies can include setting the transfer aside or other court orders about the property.
How these files often start
They frequently follow unpaid judgments, aggressive collections, or family transfers made after a dispute began. Evidence focuses on timing, consideration paid, relationship between the parties, and whether the transferor was insolvent or nearly so.
Limitation themes
Provinces set limitation rules that may run from discovery of the transfer or from when the claim arose. Recent appellate discussion in Ontario has highlighted discovery-based timing in some conveyance cases—an advisor can help you check how the current rule applies to your dates.
What to gather
Title history, transfer documents, bank records around the transfer date, the underlying debt or judgment documents, and any valuations. Preserve emails about why the transfer happened.
Important limits
Informational only. This is contested litigation—if you are named in a claim, talk to an advisor right away. If you are considering a transfer under pressure: don't move, gift or retitle assets. Talk to an advisor first.
