Section 443.205 - Fraudulent Transfers and Obligations(a) The receiver may avoid any transfer of an interest of the insurer in property, any reinsurance transaction, or any obligation incurred by an insurer that was made or incurred on or within two years before the date of the initial filing of a petition commencing delinquency proceedings under this chapter, if the insurer voluntarily or involuntarily:(1) made the transfer or incurred the obligation with actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any person to which it was or became indebted on or after the date that the transfer was made or the obligation was incurred; or(2) received less than a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the transfer or obligation.(b) Except to the extent that a transfer or obligation voidable under this section is voidable under other provisions of this chapter, a transferee or obligee that takes for value and in good faith a voidable transfer or obligation has a lien on or may retain any interest transferred or may enforce any obligation incurred, as the case may be, to the extent that the transferee or obligee gave value to the insurer in exchange for the transfer or obligation.(c) For purposes of this section, a transfer is made when the transfer is so perfected that a subsequent bona fide purchaser from the insurer cannot acquire an interest in the property transferred that is superior to the interest in the property of the transferee, but if the transfer is not so perfected before the commencement of the delinquency proceeding, the transfer is deemed to have been made immediately before the date of the initial filing of the petition commencing delinquency proceedings.(d) For purposes of this section, "value" means property or satisfaction or securing of a present or antecedent debt of the insurer.Redesignated from Insurance Code - Not Codified, Art/Sec 21A.205 by Acts 2007, 80th Leg., R.S., Ch. 730, Sec. 3B.004(a)(1), eff. 9/1/2007.Redesignated from Insurance Code - Not Codified, Art/Sec 21A.205 by Acts 2007, 80th Leg., R.S., Ch. 921, Sec. 9.004(a)(1), eff. 9/1/2007.Added by Acts 2005, 79th Leg., Ch. 995, Sec. 1, eff. 9/1/2005.
