Synopsis

This book explores voluntary conveyances under the lens of the 13 Eliz. c. 5 and 27 Eliz. c. 4, delving into their validity when challenged by creditors and subsequent purchasers. The analysis situates this topic amidst the broader historical and legal context of fraudulent conveyances, examining the nuanced distinctions between statutes designed to protect creditors versus purchasers and the evolution of case law in this area. The author underscores the complexities involved in determining fraudulent intent and provides valuable insights into the circumstances under which courts will uphold or invalidate voluntary conveyances based on factors such as the level of indebtedness at the time of conveyance, the value of the gift relative to the grantor's estate, and the nature of the relationship between grantor and grantee. Ultimately, this book offers valuable guidance on the factors influencing the validity of voluntary conveyances, shedding light on the tension between protecting creditors and upholding the rights of individuals to make gifts.
